About
"Excellence de Montrogue" Chardonnay Gascogne IGP 2020 is a dry white wine crafted from the Chardonnay grape variety, originating from the Gascogne region in southwestern France. Known for its bright acidity and elegant character, this wine reflects the unique terroir of the area, showcasing the traditional winemaking techniques employed by the De Montal estate.
Producer
DeMontal have probably the most modern distillery in the region and their methods of both viticulture and viniculture are hugely sophisticated. DeMontal makes great armagnac but also many wines from their 700 hectare estate. The advantages are that their quality is always exceptionally high and individuality between vintages is much harder to identify. The distillery is state of the art and it is claimed that the grapes spend less than 10 minutes between vineyard and press to minimize SO2 content. The pressings are in stainless steel pneumatic drums and the distillation is on very light lees. The method of vinification is altogether natural, the addition of anything artificial being forbidden. The wine is distilled right after harvest time so as to preserve a maximum amount of aromas. Stability of DeMontal quality is quite unique!
Tasting notes
On the palate, this Chardonnay offers tasting notes of fresh green apples, ripe pears, and subtle hints of citrus, complemented by delicate floral aromas. The wine has a crisp finish, with a mineral edge that adds to its refreshing quality, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate a well-balanced Chardonnay. With its vibrant acidity, it invites you to savor each sip, revealing layers of complexity as it opens up in the glass.
Pairing
For food pairing, Chardonnay pairs beautifully with light dishes such as grilled fish or seafood salads, as well as creamy pasta dishes. Its versatility also makes it a great accompaniment to soft cheeses, enhancing the dining experience with its crisp flavors and balanced structure.

South West
The wines of southwestern France have a long and controversial history. Local rivers have always played an important role as they have been the main trade routes for the transport of wines from traditional regions such as Cahors, Bergerac, Bouzet and Gaillac to markets. However, the neighboring region of Bordeaux was also influential. Winemakers and castle owners in Bordeaux really disliked the rival region and did everything to overshadow it and prevent it from developing properly. Therefore, many wines from the southwestern part had to fight hard to get to know about them and start including them in the wine lists of restaurants. The soil, climate and landscape of the southwest are as varied as the wines themselves. The influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea is due to the maritime climate, but there are also areas with a more continental microclimate, where drier and hotter summers prevail.
