Sipsy
Votre Santé Chardonnay offers bright aromas and flavors that greet the senses with poised clarity. On the nose, enticing notes of pear and ripe peach mingle with delicate hints of quince and honeysuckle, creating a fragrant invitation that draws you in for the first sip. A mineral undertone threads through the aroma, adding a subtle terrain-like complexity that suggests sunlit stone and cool, calm waters. As the wine opens in the glass, it unveils a layered depth that hints at both fruit purity and thoughtful winemaking.
The palate mirrors the bouquet with crisp, accessible fruit flavors. Juicy pear and ripe peach take center stage, while quince provides a gentle tartness that lends structure without overpowering the fruit’s sweetness. Honeysuckle contributes a floral lift, enhancing the wine’s lift and brightness. Underlying these components, a refined mineral character adds a mineral-saline bite that keeps the finish clean and refreshing. The wine’s acidity feels lively yet balanced, providing the energy needed to carry the flavors across the palate and into a satisfying, lingering aftertaste.
Oak plays a supporting role, imparting subtle vanilla and nutmeg notes that harmonize with the varietal character rather than dominating it. The result is a well-balanced Chardonnay that celebrates fruit vitality while showing restraint and finesse. This wine pairs nicely with light poultry, seafood, and soft cheeses, or shines on its own as a bright, easy-to-appreciate Chardonnay that invites quiet contemplation and repeated sips.
