Introduction:
The 2022 Serodes & Kovac “Tâcherons” Chardonnay is a fresh, elegant white wine from southern France that highlights purity, finesse, and value. It’s a crisp, fruit-driven Chardonnay with mineral backbone and understated charm — proof that restraint and balance can yield remarkable character.

Terroir:
Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in the Pays d’Oc region of southern France, the vines are rooted in clay-limestone soils that provide natural freshness and aromatic precision. The Mediterranean climate offers sunny days tempered by cool breezes, allowing slow ripening and balanced acidity.

Appearance:
Pale gold with light green reflections; clear and luminous in the glass.

Nose:
Aromas of pear, white peach, and green apple are complemented by delicate floral tones and a hint of crushed stone. There’s a gentle creaminess beneath the fruit, adding depth without heaviness.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and clean texture. Flavors of crisp orchard fruit and lemon zest are layered with subtle mineral notes and a touch of white flower. The absence of new oak allows purity of fruit and a fine chalky finish to shine.

Finish:
Refreshing and persistent, with citrus and mineral tones lingering over a faintly creamy texture. The finish is dry, bright, and impeccably clean.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Meat dish: Lemon-roasted chicken or poached halibut with herbs

• Vegetarian option: Grilled asparagus with olive oil and lemon or spring pea risotto

• Cheese pairing: Fresh goat cheese or soft-ripened Brie

Overall Impression:
The 2022 “Tâcherons” Chardonnay is a graceful, well-balanced white with precision, freshness, and quiet elegance. It reflects thoughtful viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking, delivering exceptional value and purity. Perfect for seafood, light fare, or simply enjoyed as an aperitif.
