Maison Anselmet lies in the Aosta valley in the small village of Vereytaz, close to Villeneuve. The vineyards of Chardonnay are at 800 metres above sea level, planted in 1989. The relatively long growing season with these old vines gives extra ageing potential to the Chardonnay. The grapes are fermented in oak and the wine is then aged for 18 months in small barrels. A restrained, focussed nose of pink grapefruit and buttery notes, with flowery hints and stony minerality in depth, is held together by zesty acidity tightly wound with fruit concentration and a toasty finish. A Chassagne-like Chardonnay full of tension and complexity.
