Domaine Saint Hilaire Le Baron Chardonnay is a premium wine made from grapes picked by hand from 25-30 year old Chardonnay vines, on some of the best plots, giving concentrated flavors and minerality.
Fermented in a combination of new and old 400 liter French oak barrels, each with a different yeast. This adds extra complexity to the wine and allows the head winemaker to select only from the best casks to create a wine that rivals the world's finest Chardonnays!
This wine has a light yellow straw color that becomes more golden with age.
Delicate floral aromas, classic roasted brioche flavours, fresh acidity and a rich full mouth make this wine perfect with rich and creamy sauces, white meats and fish dishes.
Domaine Saint Hilaire Le Baron Chardonnay is a delicious French Languedoc wine from Domaine Saint Hilaire from France. This white wine is made from Chardonnay grapes.
Recommended serving temperature between 10°C and 12°C.
An old wine producer, which has been producing wine since Roman times, is beautifully situated near Pezenas, Languedoc. Located a few kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, Domaine Saint Hilaire enjoys a sunny climate, but is protected by the sea from extreme temperatures.
The vines make clever use of the advantages of the diverse terroir. The vines on the stony plateau supply the grapes for the intense reds and the vines in the more fertile valley supply the grapes for the lighter whites and rosés.
The philosophy is to let nature express the qualities of the terroirs and vines in a natural way with low yields (approx. 35 ha/hl) and largely organic methods. They are aided in these goals by the famous southern French winds, the Mistral, Tramontane and Marin which gently air the vines, keeping disease at bay and reducing the need for treatments. A mix of manual harvesting and the latest technology ensures that the precious grapes are delivered to the winery in perfect condition.
