2024 Domaine Roux Les Côtilles Chardonnay is a fresh and fruit-forward expression made from carefully selected Chardonnay grapes. It shows aromatic notes of acacia, verbena, lemongrass, and ripe citrus like mandarin, with subtle herbal nuances. The palate is crisp, balanced, and juicy with good structure, finishing with a light saline/mineral touch. Vinified partly in stainless steel and briefly aged in wood, it combines freshness with a hint of roundness and complexity.
