This winery is part of the Menard- Durand estate which has been in the family since the 18th century. Jeff Carrel is the winemaker behind this project.

This unoaked Chardonnay is a gem that punches above its weight. Balanced with notes of yellow apples, Bartlett pear, lemon and creme fraiche. Perfect for those of us with Chablis taste on a beer budget. Enjoy with soft cheeses or as an aperitif.

Our dear friend Jeff Carrel makes an elaborate range of wines, we're perhaps most fond of some of his more unusual bottlings. One of his goals is to revive grape-growing culture in some of the more remote areas of the south of France. He's planting unique varieties of grapes and encouraging young people to return to the area to farm the vines.

The Languedoc region spans all the way from the Mediterranean coast to the Rhone Valley. The warm climate produces a wide variety of warm climate wines. Today the Languedoc is one of the fastest growing categories and can be recognized for it's remarkable value.
