Les Villages Chardonnay 2023 is a regional white wine from Thomas Bachelder, crafted to showcase the diverse terroirs of the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario. This 2023 bottling is a meticulously selected assembly of fruit from various village-level sites, resulting in a wine of great balance and transparency. It offers a profile of white peach, lemon zest and subtle toasted hazelnuts, underpinned by the cool-climate acidity and stony minerality that define the region. Bachelder’s winemaking involves wild yeast fermentation and modest use of French oak to allow the purity of the Chardonnay fruit to remain primary. It is an elegant and chiselled white, representing a sophisticated map of Niagara’s limestone-influenced soils and maritime-influenced climate.
