The Plaisir Petit Plaisir Chardonnay flows into the glass in a pale yellow color with fresh green reflections and smells seductively of ripe gooseberries, fresh spices, lemon cream and a hint of oak spice. From light to medium body, delicious nuances of tropical fruit and delicate floral hints caress the palate and finish in a pleasant and lush finish that gives stunning pleasure.

The Chardonnay grapes were crushed on arrival at the cellar, collecting only the free-run juice for further production and left to rest overnight. The next morning, the juice was placed in a combination of French oak barrels with a capacity of 300 liters per barrel (20% new wood, 80% second as well as third), where fermentation began. After fermentation was completed, the wine spent another nine months on the lees, which were regularly stirred up and down (batonnage) to obtain a stunning mouthfeel, body and richness in the wine. Malolactic fermentation took place only partially, giving a more lush style with fresh natural acidity.
