## About this wine

Les Mougeottes Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes is produced by Les Producteurs Réunis in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of Southern France. Sourced from old vines averaging at least 25 years in age, located near Carcassonne and the foothills of the Montagne Noire, this wine showcases the sun-drenched terroir of IGP Pays d'Oc. The region's clay-limestone and fine gravel soils, combined with warm Mediterranean sunshine and cooling mountain breezes, allow the Chardonnay fruit to mature optimally while preserving natural balance.

## Interesting facts

- Crafted from vines that are at least 25 years old in Southern France.
- Designed to offer a Mâconnais-style White Burgundy profile at an accessible price point.
- Previous vintages have earned awards at competitions such as Chardonnay du Monde.

## Food pairing

The wine's rounded body and crisp acidity harmonize beautifully with rich, creamy sauces and delicate proteins like poultry and shellfish without overpowering them.

## Wine making process

Harvested from selected old-vine parcels, the grapes undergo gentle pneumatic pressing followed by low-temperature primary fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The winemaking incorporates partial or full malolactic fermentation. Subtle French oak integration is achieved through short maturation in French oak barrels or oak stave contact over approximately three months prior to bottling.
