“A huge success!”
Villa Blanche Chardonnay brilliantly lives up to its reputation with this vintage. Powerful and well-balanced, it reveals aromas of candied lemon, pineapple, and apricot, accompanied by notes of butter, coconut, and caramel. On the palate, it captivates with its freshness, structure, and fullness, culminating in a deliciously creamy finish.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The perfect choice for those who want to discover fine Languedoc wines that remain true to their terroir. Jérôme Joseph and Laurent Calmel are wine merchants without their own cellars. They age their selected vintages at the winemakers’ estates from whom they purchase them, preserving the original flavors and terroirs. A wide, delightful selection featuring many excellent wines and a few stunning surprises.
