Maison Louis Latour, Coteaux de l'Ardeche Chardonnay 2023 (1.5L)

Chardonnay grown in the Ardèche, in southern France, tends to offer a rounder, sunnier expression of the grape than its Burgundian cousins, and this bottling from Maison Louis Latour leans into that warmth. The 2023 is a still, unoaked white built for easy drinking, with the orchard-fruit clarity and gentle freshness Chardonnay shows when it isn't dressed up in barrel.
