Calmel & Joseph Villa Blanche Chardonnay

Gleaming bright with yellow-green reflections. The very hot, dry summer this year gave us an intense wine with powerful aromas of soft fruits such as apricot and peach vine as it opens, followed by aniseed, lightly vanilla and coconut that contribute a delightful freshness. Meticulous blending is rewarded by superb balance in the mouth between density and tension. The fruit finds perfect expression thanks to toasted notes of grilled almonds and a subtly smoky finish. As captivating as ever, Villa Blanche Chardonnay 2021 lives up to its reputation, with its fine typicity and distinctive saline note on the finish.
