2022 Rothschild Pays d'Oc Chardonnay

Slurp Wines NR

Baron Philippe de Rothschild`s Pays d`Oc range applies their Bordeaux expertise to southern French varietals at accessible price points. This Chardonnay comes from vineyards across the Languedoc where warm Mediterranean sunshine produces ripe, fruit-forward wines. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and clean fruit expression. The 2022 vintage has settled with a couple of years in bottle. White peach, citrus and apple with subtle tropical notes. Medium bodied with moderate acidity and a smooth, rounded texture. Fruit-forward and easy-drinking with the kind of ripe character warm climates deliver. Some of the youthful zing has softened into a mellower profile. Straightforward and approachable. Serve chilled (8-10°C). Pairs with roast chicken, creamy pasta, grilled fish, or works as an uncomplicated aperitif. Drinking now, best enjoyed within the year while there`s still freshness. [Slurp Wines, 05/06/2026]
