Laura Lardy, Chardonnay, Beaujolais Villages Blanc, France 2023

100% Chardonnay

Laura Lardy's Beaujolais-Villages Blanc bursts with flavors of succulent peaches, apples and quince, balanced with a vibrant acidity. This is the perfect everyday drinking white (“vin du comptoir” as the French would say).

The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, then directly pressed into neutral demi-muid (600L) where they ferment spontaneously and then rest for 3 months. No fining, lightly filtered and sulfured at bottling.

Laura is the 4th generation of a Beaujolais winemaking family; both Laura’s father Lucien and brother Yohan make wines under their own names as well. She takes care of the vineyards rented from her father, which she started to convert to organics the moment she took them over in 2017.
