Maison Ventenac - Chardonnay Préjugés 2025
Languedoc | white, dry |
Exotic fruit, fresh lift and oak that knows when to step back.
A ripe Chardonnay with notes of exotic fruit and a fresh, lively edge. The oak is subtle and well integrated, adding softness without taking over. Precise, gently seductive and very easy to enjoy.
Maison Ventenac is a family story from Cabardès, near Carcassonne, now run by Stéphanie and Olivier Ramé. Built on the foundations of a family estate dating back to the 1970s, it takes an open minded approach to wine. They work with varieties that reflect the unique position between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The result is wines with plenty of juiciness, balanced by freshness, lightness and a subtle saline edge. Everything is farmed organically with minimal intervention, while in the cellar they are not afraid to experiment in small batches, including wines made without added sulphur. What ties it all together is a simple idea, wine should be fun. And that’s exactly what these wines are like. Approachable, lively and dangerously easy to drink.
