Domaine Montrose Chardonnay is a crisp and refreshing white wine that embodies the essence of the Languedoc region of France. This wine is made from hand-selected grapes that are grown in the region's mineral-rich soil, giving it a distinct and complex flavor profile. It has a bright, golden color and aromas of citrus, ripe pear, and vanilla, with subtle notes of oak. On the palate, the wine is smooth and velvety, with a refreshing acidity that balances the rich, creamy texture. The finish is long and satisfying, with flavors of lemon zest and a slight hint of toasted hazelnut. Domaine Montrose Chardonnay is the perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes, roasted chicken, or creamy pasta.

Tasting Notes

A unique blend of three terroirs for an inimitable style. We prefer aging in stainless steel rather than oak barrels to preserve freshness, fruit and minerality. This chardonnay perfectly represents the balance and elegance we strive for in our wines.

About the Winery

Established in 1701, Domaine Montrose is a renowned French winery located in the appellation of Côtes de Thongue in the region of Languedoc. It came up as a wine estate when its founder, Joseph Alazard, received his family crest of three lizards. Remaining as a family business since then, the winery has continued for eleven generations.

The name of the winery comes with the place where it resides on a volcano. It gives the ‘mont’ half. The ‘rose’ part comes from the pink-coloured flowers of the almond tree that surround the vineyards owned by Domaine Montrose.

In recent times, the 11th generation of Joseph Alazard, Bernard Coste, handles and manages all aspects of Domaine Montrose. Oliver, his son, has joined and helped him from 2009 onwards. The two have utilised and implemented 300 years’ worth of tradition and history to produce world-class wines. The drinks developed by the winery bring with them a sense of excellence and elegance. Additionally, they label their bottles with the crest of three lizards to honour their ancestors and pay them a tribute.

The appellation of Domaine Montrose lies in a region with a Mediterranean climate. Hence, the vineyards experience a dry and hot summer, a dry and cold winter, and a humid fall and spring season. The typical soil of the place promotes and sustain the growth and development of high-quality grapevines. It primarily constitutes clay-limestone, Villafranchian terraces or small and rounded pebbles, and basalt.

Domaine Montrose works in the vineyards while respecting nature and all its elements. Thus, they incorporate organic practices that do not harm the environment. The vineyards workers use mechanical tools instead of chemicals to remove weeds. In addition, they utilise pheromone dispensers. They prevent applying insecticides and pesticides to get rid of pests like worms that damage the grapes.
