Altugnac Chardonnay 2024

From the high-altitude vineyards of the Haute Vallée de l’Aude, Altugnac presents a Chardonnay that stands as a profound testament to the elegance of Limoux. Crafted by the renowned Collovray & Terrier family—masters of white Burgundy who have brought their meticulous expertise to the south—this 2024 vintage captures the cool-climate freshness that defines this unique terroir.

In the glass, the wine pours a brilliant pale gold with flashes of silver. The bouquet is immediately captivating, offering a refined melody of white peach and acacia flowers, gracefully seasoned with a subtle hint of toasted almond. On the palate, it commands attention with a seamless balance of richness and tension; layers of ripe pear and citrus zest unfold with precision, supported by a mineral backbone that speaks to the limestone soils of the region.

The finish is long, clean, and beautifully detailed, leaving a lasting impression of freshness and grace. A genuine, unadulterated expression of Chardonnay that rivals its northern cousins in Burgundy at a fraction of the price. An exceptional value that demands a place at the table.
