TERROIR(S)

See the interactive map of terroirs

Six terroirs go into the production of a Les Jamelles Chardonnay! Fresh, mineral or saline terroirs, such as the Thau Basin , the upper Aude valley near Limoux, or the west of Aude ; terroirs which will bring richness and roundness such as the Narbonne hinterland or the Orb hillsides ; or even the Aude plain which will bring tension and length.

WINEMAKING

Alcoholic fermentation is slow (3 to 6 weeks) and temperature regulated. Around half of the vintage is aged in wood, on fine lees, for 9 months with regular resuspension of the lees (batonnage).
