Bodegas Chivite, Coleccion 125 White 2018

100% Chardonnay. 11 months in Allier French oak barrels.

The Chardonnay vine has found a unique stronghold in Legardeta (Navarra), where the climate and soils are perfect for obtaining varietal, complex, and age-worthy wines. 

The Chivite Colección 125 range was launched in 1985 to commemorate the anniversary of the first exports in 1860. This wine owes its fame and recognition to the historic collaboration with oenologist Denis Dubourdieu. 

The elegant and Burgundian Colección 125 Blanco is a barrel-fermented Chardonnay, one of the best in its class. It is well balanced and with good freshness, moderate ripeness and a lively palate. It's still young, but already provides great pleasure. The production is limited around 12,000 bottles.
