DESCRIPTION
Baettig Los Primos Chardonnay 2021 is an exceptional cuvée from the D.O. Traiguén, sourced from ancient volcanic soils in southern Chile. The fruit of a demanding year, this Chardonnay reveals the authenticity of its volcanic terroir. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, of which 35% is new. The Baettig vineyard, located in Traiguén in southern Chile, was founded in 2013 by Swiss proprietors on a clay-granitic plateau. There, they planted 15 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Their artisanal approach, utilizing manual viticulture, indigenous yeasts, and delicate extraction, produces pure, lively, and fruity wines reflecting the region's vigorous climate and mineral soils. Baettig has thus transformed Traiguén into a recognized appellation, acclaimed by international critics.
On the nose, stones and oyster shells associated with lemon zest and oats. On the palate, ample and generous, with a brilliant freshness that harmonizes perfectly with its structure and density. It pairs well with Oysters Rockefeller or a lobster risotto. Serve between 7 and 9°C. Aging potential of 5 years and more.
