Domaine Des Pothiers Aris Chardonnay 2022 is an energetic IGP Urfé white from Villemontais in the Côte Roannaise, grown on high‑altitude granitic slopes that give the wine real lift and personality. Domaine des Pothiers Aris Chardonnay shows the estate’s organic, biodynamic credentials in a bright, pure and expressive style.

In the glass expect citrus and white‑flower aromatics with crunchy orchard fruits, subtle stonefruit and a lick of saline minerality from those granite soils. The palate tends to be medium‑bodied, fresh and textural rather than heavily oaked, with a clean, mouth‑watering finish that makes each sip feel incredibly moreish.

This is a cracking food wine for Australian tables – think grilled whiting, salt‑and‑pepper squid, roast chicken with lemon and thyme, spring vegetable risotto or a simple goats’ cheese salad. Its freshness and finesse make it perfect for long lunches, seafood platters and lighter, produce‑driven dishes.
