Grosejan GROSEJAN Chardonnay 2020

Description

Valle d’Aosta Chardonnay DOC Grosjean is a natural, sincere and sincere white wine that pleases for its freshness and aromatic complexity.

The Grosjean family has its roots in the village of Fornet in the high passes of the Aosta Valley.

During the summer months the family grew grapes and chestnuts on the slopes at lower altitudes, stocking up on wine to refuel during the long winters. In 1969, Dauphin Grosjean, the father of five children who now collaborate in the production of the wines of this estate, was encouraged to present his wine at the local “wine fair”. The exceptional quality of his work was recognized and the whole family engaged in the expansion of the vineyards and in the production of wine.
The company has now grown to encompass seven hectares of vineyards. The domaine is located in the hamlet of Ollignan on the border between the municipalities of Quart and Saint Christophe and includes “cru” vineyards such as Tzeriat, Rovettaz, Creton and Touren in Quart, as well as Tzantè de Bagnere, Merletta and Castello di Pleod in Saint Christophe.

Having started with the traditional Petit Rouge along with some Gamay, Pinot Noir and Petite Arvine, the Grosjeans have planted other local varieties such as Fumin, Cornalin, Premetta and Vuillermin.

Sustainable agriculture techniques have been in place since 1975: only organic fertilizers are applied and no pesticides or herbicides are used.

Natural yeasts are used for fermentation.
