Pour Le Vin Chardonnay
Unoaked French Chardonnay, blended for crispness and priced for the table.
The story behind Pour Le Vin
Pour Le Vin Chardonnay comes from France, but not from one patch of dirt. It is a cross regional blend under the Vin de France designation, with Chardonnay from Gascony bringing crispness, acidity and aromatic purity, and Chardonnay from Pays d'Oc adding weight and varietal character. The producer is Boutinot France, and the bottle carries the nickname Avoir la Pêche, French for being on top form.
Fermentation and settling happen in stainless steel, with no oak contact and no heavy buttery manipulation. That is the whole point: freshness held in place. We have poured this style for Long Island customers for years, and it behaves exactly as an unoaked Chardonnay should, clean and bright rather than broad.
Explore the Pour Le Vin range

Which Pour Le Vin is right for you?
Every Pour Le Vin bottle in the lineup lands at $11.99 for 750mL, which makes the Chardonnay an easy case buy rather than a splurge. That price buys you a French white blended across two regions, fermented in stainless steel and kept unoaked, so what you taste is fruit and acidity rather than wood.
