Vigilance

Chardonnay 2025

Fermented at low temperatures to preserve its vibrant aromatics, this Chardonnay reveals layers of ripe apple, delicate florals, and subtle nuttiness. A touch of oak lends hints of vanilla and a creamy texture, balanced by bright acidity and a long, structured finish. Elegant and expressive, it’s equally suited to roasted chicken, creamy risotto, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Vintage Notes

The 2025 vintage benefited from a longer harvest, allowing grapes to achieve perfect phenolic ripeness and concentration, resulting in vibrant colors, intense aromatics, and rich flavors. Cooler nights preserved balanced acidity while vines remained healthy and photosynthetically active throughout the season, despite early rains. With slightly lower alcohol but impeccable structure and depth, this vintage promises elegance and exceptional quality.
