About this wine
Catherine and Laurent Delaunay are responsible for the making of the wines of La Tour des Dames. Both received training as oenologist, and they also come from a family that for generations has been winegrowers. They gained experience in California and Burgundy. In 1995, they established themselves as independent winemakers near Nuits -Saint -Georges in Burgundy. Pretty soon they were also passionate about the wines from the south of France. Through their experience with varietal wines (wines made with only one grape race) they had the know-how to create very nice wine for an attractive price.
For an interesting complexity and perfect balance, the Delaunay's selected grapes from four different areas. The Hautes Cévennes for freshness, the plain of the Hérault for the roundness, the hills of the Aude for the fruitiness and the foothills of the Pyrenees (Limoux) for the structure.
A third of the crop is fermented and left to age in small oak barrels. This maturation ensures obtaining a Chardonnay with a fresh and appealing style that leaves the competition in this price range far behind.
