Production notes
Le Chaume is a white wine from Quebec’s Richelieu Valley, made with organic farming. It is a blend of Frontenac Gris (~42%), Pinot Gris (~33%) and Saint-Pépin (~25%). Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, gently pressed pneumatically. After flotation clarification, each variety is fermented separately in temperature‑controlled stainless steel, then blended before fermentation. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are completed, followed by 6 months aging on fine lees in stainless steel, no oak.
Tasting notes
Pale straw yellow colour. Aromatically, litchi, peach and pear appear upfront, complemented by floral notes, a hint of honey and subtle minerality. On the palate, it is generous yet balanced—crisp, concentrated, and true to the nose. The mouthfeel is rich and textured.
