Description
The Idun Renaissance Chardonnay is pale gold in colour, with a nose that balances stewed fruits with candy and zesty lime. The palate is full and rich yet with a delicate touch, and the finish is well-balanced and elegant.
This is a terrific cool climate Chardonnay made from hand-picked fruit that is whole bunch pressed. Fermentation is carried out spontaneously with natural yeasts, with only 30% of the wine going through malolactic, ensuring that the freshness is retained.
Idun is a small, boutique winery run by a French-Danish family originating from Mauritius. They produce excellent varietals which are well-balanced, concentrated, and elegant. They produce mightily impressive, French-inspired wines which you would no doubt pay a lot more for if the grapes were from France.

Around 2,000 hectares are vinified on 2 different sites, a major part of which is located on clay-limestone soils with some pockets of marl as well. The climate is Mediterranean, dry and hot during summer, but more temperate due to it's proximity to the sea.

2024 Verdicchio di Matelica, ColleStefano
Verdicchio
Castelli di Jesi tends to hog the limelight when it comes to Verdicchio but we feel that the wines from Matelica tend to have a slight edge in terms of interest and complexity. ColleStefano is a wonderful organic property nestled among its private vineyards above Castelraimondo. The altitude (450m above sea level) provides protection from the sea winds and makes for a temperate climate. Their immaculate vineyards are part of a broader self-sustainable, eco-friendly and balanced system, with the soils only treated with organic manure, thus minimizing the presence of copper.

2022/23 Carte d’Or, Baumard, AC Coteaux du Layon, Half Bottle
Chenin Blanc
The Carte d'Or Coteaux du Layon from Baumard has a very attractive honeyed nose, with lifted yellow fruits and more golden tropical elements such as mango, guava and pineapple. It has a particularly tropical character and a very fresh feel on the palate, with steely minerality and a zippy background acidity giving invigorating tartness to keep the wine luscious and buoyant. The rounded, approachable finish has good length.
