Villa Blanche Chardonnay 2021

Pays d'Oc IGP

/ 5 ( reviews)

91/100, The Tasting Panel Magazine, 2022
Silver, Mundus Vini, 2022

Fragrant with crisp apple fruit and a classic mineral edge, Villa Blanche is from award-winning Calmel & Joseph in the Languedoc. Its style is very much of a good Burgundy, Mâcon like, but comes at a down-to-earth price. Creamy, ripe peach fruit.

Villa Blanche is our top tip if you’re looking for a great value alternative to Burgundy. It’s made by Laurent Calmel and Jérôme Joseph in the Languedoc and over the last decade has won numerous awards, including a top spot in the ‘Chardonnay du Monde’ competition. The cellar has also won a top award from La Revue du Vin de France. This lovely, well-balanced white is made from two parcels of grapes - one picked early for freshness, the other later for ripe fruit flavour. For quality, it easily rivals many white Burgundies that sell for twice the price. With just a touch of oak, it's elegantly fragrant with aromas of peaches, nectarines, vanilla and almond. A delicious glass on its own or the perfect companion to creamy pasta or fish pie.
