A(l/t)itude Chardonnay 2025

Chardonnay with charm, body, and freshness – straight from Southern France 🥂

Some travel to experience the world. I also travel to find wines that are worth bringing home.

I have visited many wine regions by now, met passionate winemakers, and tasted countless wines. A bit like a modern-day Columbus, just with a wine glass as a compass! 😂🍷

One of the experiences that has really stuck with me is my visit to the Canet winery in Southern France. Among other things, I found this wonderful A(l/t)titude Chardonnay there.

The wine has its roots in the area around Limoux, where the altitude and cool nights help give the Chardonnay grape a lovely freshness and elegance.

What does it taste like?

Imagine a Chardonnay with delightful notes of ripe pears, peach, and fresh grapefruit, elegantly accompanied by vanilla and toasted almonds.

On the palate, it is round, soft, and slightly buttery with a beautiful fruit fullness. But just as you are enjoying its full-bodied character, the freshness kicks in and creates a wonderful balance.

60% of the wine is produced in tanks, while 40% is aged in wood. This results in a Chardonnay where fruit, body, and finesse all have their place.

What should you serve it with?

Try it with fish, roast chicken, risotto with shrimp and leeks, or a delicious cheese board. It is also an obvious choice as a nice glass before dinner.

Serve at 10–13 °C.

Why did I choose it?

I have long been looking for Chardonnay wines where the quality is high, but the price is still affordable.

I want to be able to offer you wines that taste like much more than you might expect in this price range. Wines that you look forward to opening – even on a regular Tuesday.

And this Chardonnay is exactly the type of wine I want on the shelves at Whiskystack.

Some look for treasure. I prefer to find mine in a bottle. ❤️
