The palate is rich and textured, creamy from monthly lees stirring, with enough acidity underneath to keep it lively. Chardonnay 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVilla Noria is the work of Fabien Gross and Cédric Arnaud, who grew up among the vineyards of the Languedoc and Alsace respectively and now farm a stone's throw from the Mediterranean, between Pézenas and Montagnac. The Les Colombiers lieu-dit sits at the foot of a volcanic hillside on basaltic soils formed from weathered lava and high in iron, giving the wine a distinctive minerality; the vines are Guyot-pruned, certified organic, and ringed by hedges that shield them from neighbouring spraying and shelter wildlife. Fruit was picked in the cool of the night to hold its freshness, received into the winery by gravity and pressed immediately, then fermented with wild yeasts at 15°C in French oak barrels and aged six months on its lees in new 500-litre barrels with monthly bâtonnage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 10–12°C.
