From vineyards that lie on the slopes of the beautiful Constantia valley, a heartland that benefits from a maritime climate with cool winters and abundant sunshine in summer, comes this scrumptious offering! The Cuvee Anais, named after winemaker Christophe Durand’s daughter, is manufactured from 100% chardonnay vines after which most are exported to Belgium, Sweden, France and the States.
Hailing from France, winemaker Christophe Durand’s philosophy is to maintain tradition and through all stages to “respect the wine”. To put into effect this attention to detail, all his wines are hand crafted from picking to pressing so as to avoid any stress. The result... a Chardonnay that is rich, full and extremely well balanced.
Displaying aromas of honeysuckle, marmalade with some elegant nutty flavours, the Cuvee Anais chardonnay boasts a fruity and creamy mouth feel with well integrated oak. Fermented in no less than 100% new French Gillet barrels for 11 months this wine shows depth and harmony with a very long and enjoyable finish. Ideal for the sweltering summer days ahead!!
Jean’s Thoughts
A delicate Chardonnay made by a dedicated French man. Displaying beautiful fruit and a silky palate. Passion paid off for a wine barrel importer!!
Brendon’s Thoughts
A chardonnay with refined elegance and charm. Subtle, creamy textures with a hint of citrus. This is an incredibly sexy wine with some French heritage!
At Caveau: R 200.00 per bottle
