Calmel & Joseph Villa Blanche Chardonnay 2015
France$15.05
Winemaker: "Clear, pale green hue. Our Villa Blanche Chardonnay 2015 is in the same vein as the previous vintages with a little less maturity than the 2014. Very expressive with white flowers and fruity aromas of apricot and vineyard peach, along with dried fruit and nut overtones. Straightforward, clean, full and well-balanced on the palate, with afresh and fruity finish revealing mango and citrus overtones. The oak is subtle and very smooth. This vintage shows lovely acidic tension: elegant."
Volcanic, clay and limestone. Mediterranean climate. NO WEED KILLER !!!
