{"product_id":"elizabeth-spencer-chardonnay-etats-unis","title":"Elizabeth Spencer - Chardonnay - 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Spencer's Chardonnay comes from vineyards in Mendocino County, north of Napa Valley, California. These plots benefit from the refreshing influence of the Pacific Ocean, with morning fogs and significant temperature variations that promote a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes. The varied soils, mixing alluvium, gravel, and clay, allow for a beautiful diversity of varietal expressions while maintaining a natural freshness characteristic of this coastal wine-growing area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay grapes from Elizabeth Spencer are harvested at optimal ripeness, then gently pressed before a careful settling. Fermentation proceeds slowly, mostly in French oak barrels, with a variable proportion of new wood to preserve the balance between freshness and aromatic complexity. Aging on fine lees then prolongs maturation, with periodic bâtonnage to add volume and texture, until bottling, aiming to preserve the purity of the fruit and the precision of the Californian terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe apple\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ejuicy pear\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by floral touches of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ehoneysuckle\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as spicy and woody nuances of \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003etoasted hazelnut\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003etoasted oak\u003c\/strong\u003e.
