The Wine
One of our prized, rule breaking whites, La Voûte is largely the work of Mark Hoddy at our own cellar, Le Chai au Quai. He wanted to make a rich but zesty Burgundy style wine at an affordable price. Mark knew exactly where to source the best grapes in the brilliant 2015 vintage – from the Astruc vineyard in Limoux Océanique, where the vines, planted at 300 metres, produce ripe fruit with depth and firm acidity. After careful pressing the juice was transported under cool conditions to Le Chai and put into oak barrels, 30% new, to ferment at tick over speed. A further year's ageing in oak has lent a broad, creamy texture to the peach and lemon fruit. Serve in large bowled glasses to let it open out, with chicken, or fish with a lemony sauce.

Excellent. Perfectly balanced Chardonnay with Meursault type richness. A bargain
