Stroebel Coteau champenois Blanc Chardonnay 2018 AOC 0.75l

Stroebel Coteau champenois Blanc Chardonnay 2018 AOC 0.75l is a wine that subtly showcases a winery capable of transforming the terroir into a bottle of character. Grown on the exposed slopes of the Coteau champenois, this Chardonnay benefits from calcareous soils that impart a refined minerality and a controlled maturation that preserves the fruit's clarity. The history of the Stroebel producer is that of a family-run winery that has made consistency and discretion its cornerstones, a business that has built itself step by step by maintaining a direct relationship with the vineyards and an artisanal philosophy geared towards elegance rather than ostentation. The production philosophy is based on respect for nature's rhythms and on agricultural practices that are attentive to biodiversity: manual harvesting, grape selection, vinification in temperature-controlled steel tanks, and aging on fine lees that enriches the structure without weighing down the wine. The uniqueness of the 2018 Stroebel Coteau champenois Blanc Chardonnay lies in its balance between crisp acidity and full-bodied flavor, in a seemingly sculpted form, aromas reminiscent of ripe citrus, white peach, notes of elderflower, and a spark of flint that underscores its terroir. On the palate, the texture is lucid and precise, the sip remaining elegant thanks to a well-balanced acidic punch and a length that leaves a mineral trail on the finish. Within the producer's portfolio, this wine occupies an authoritative niche designed for those seeking a signature white wine capable of pairing with fish dishes, delicate risottos, and soft cheeses without succumbing to excessive vanity. This bottle's role in the collection is to bridge tradition and innovation, offering a contemporary interpretation of Chardonnay that remains faithful to its terroir. In closing, Stroebel Coteau champenois Blanc Chardonnay 2018 embodies the STELT philosophy: sobriety, definition and character that accompany the table with credibility and tailor-made taste, STELT.
