French Bulldog Chardonnay 2022

French Bulldog Chardonnay is a vibrant and characterful white wine from the sun-drenched hillsides of Languedoc, inspired by the charm and confidence of the French Bulldog. The vineyards are planted on well-drained limestone slopes surrounded by wild scrubland, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate of abundant sunshine and cooling coastal breezes — ideal conditions for producing expressive, aromatic Chardonnay. Meet the producer Crafted by Wines & Brands, French Bulldog celebrates the playful French spirit through wines that are both approachable and refined, showcasing the diversity and elegance of southern France’s terroirs. Production The Chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo a short maceration to retain delicacy and freshness. Fermentation is followed by ageing in a combination of barriques and larger oak casks to add complexity and texture while maintaining balance. Tasting notes Bright and aromatic, the wine bursts with notes of white peach, apricot, and subtle citrus. The palate is rich yet fresh, with a gentle minerality and an elegant, well-balanced finish that lingers beautifully. Food match An excellent companion to grilled fish, creamy pasta dishes, roasted chicken, or soft cheeses. Also delicious served on its own as an aperitif. Grape Chardonnay 100%
