Golden yellow color. On the nose, classic chardonnay with notes of wood, bread, and white fruit, very special. On the palate, again a lot of fruit, dry, rich with pleasant acidity and soft notes of wood/vanilla.
 
Chardonnay 'Blauw' Kiezelingenbos
 
Producer: Wijnkasteel Genoels-Elderen
Classification: Haspengouw, controlled designation of origin
Type of Wine: Full-bodied white wine Grape variety/varieties: chardonnay
Closure: Cork
Country: Belgium
Wine region: Haspengouw
Area: Riemst
 
Winemaking: Fermentation takes place for 50% in stainless steel tanks and 50% in oak barrels, as well as aging sur lie for 12 months. Afterwards, the blend takes place and is followed by 6 months aging in stainless steel vats and 1 year in bottle, with a storage potential of 4-6 years.
Area information: The first Genoels-Elderen castle was built in the 13th century by order of Godenoel van Elderen and was then burned down by the people of Tongeren in 1407. In the 18th century, the second version was burned by the French. After the last renovation in 1859, the beautiful garden was immediately laid out, inspired by the gardens of Versailles. There is evidence that wine was already being produced in Genoels-Elderen during Roman times. Haspengouw is qualified as a quality wine with a controlled designation of origin. Now Belgian wine production is completely back in business. This is certainly true for the wines of the wine castle, as shown by the prestigious awards that the wines of Genoels-Elderen have won at competitions at home and abroad.
 
Producer information: In the mid-1980s, Jaap van Rennes bought the Genoels-Elderen wine castle and took on a new challenge: making wine in a unique location. The soil (marl underground and loam on the surface) is very suitable for viticulture. The fact that this soil is very similar to that in Burgundy was the reason to plant chardonnay and pinot noir. In 1991 they started with 4.5 ha, and at this moment there are 22 hectares with a planting density of 4,300 vines per hectare. No weed killers are used; weeding and hoeing are done mechanically, which is more time-consuming but also more environmentally friendly and ultimately better for the wine. In August, excess grapes are cut away, so the average yield is very low, with less than 40 hl/ha. The harvest is manual or mechanical, depending on the circumstances, and takes place from September through November. Of the total vineyard, 18 hectares are planted with chardonnay, 4 hectares with pinot noir, and half a hectare with pinot gris. In the beautiful 13th-century cellar, there are 150 barriques of French oak from Allier and the Vosges, with an average annual production of 110,000 bottles. This makes Genoels-Elderen the largest wine estate in Belgium. The founder's daughter, Jaap's daughter Joyce, is the cellar master after thorough training. A visit to the castle is very worthwhile, with 15,000 visitors annually. Serving suggestions: As an aperitif, with light fish dishes (including smoked), shellfish especially oysters, seafood platters, pastas, vegetable dishes, salads.
 
Serving temperature: 12 - 14ºC
 
Other information: Kiezelingenbos is a plot of 11.5 ha behind the castle. Of this, 8.5 ha is chardonnay and 3 ha pinot noir, planted in 1993, 2009, and 2010. This is currently the largest vineyard in Belgium.
