Chardonnay vinegar from Orléans aged and fermented in wooden barrels - 25cl

Origin and Raw Materials: This exceptional specialty white vinegar is crafted in Orléans. The recipe highlights pure Chardonnay white wine selected for its aromatic finesse, elegance, and crisp minerality, guaranteeing a refined gourmet condiment.

Producer: Founded in 1797, Martin-Pouret is the last master vinegar maker preserving the famous "Orléans method". Backed by over two centuries of expertise, the house creates premium vinegars celebrated by top chefs for their authenticity and purity.

Production Process: Acetic fermentation takes place slowly on the surface of the Chardonnay wine in horizontal oak barrels at constant temperature. Aged in French oak, this traditional process allows the vinegar to absorb delicate woody notes while retaining the grape's fruity freshness.

Tasting Notes: The vinegar displays a brilliant straw-yellow hue with golden highlights. On the nose, it releases a subtle bouquet of white flowers, fresh butter, pear, and a touch of oak vanilla. On the palate, the entry is crisp and precise, delivering elegant acidity and a lingering finish.

Serving Advice & Aging Potential: Perfect for whisking butter sauces (beurre blanc), deglazing seared scallops, dressing fish carpaccio, elevating homemade mayonnaise, or seasoning seafood salad dressings. Store at room temperature away from light.

Awards & Environmental Certifications: Produced under the traditional Orléans method, ensuring authentic oak barrel aging and respect for French gastronomic heritage.
