Pale yellow with golden highlights. A well-balanced nose of passionfruit, pineapple, and peach evolving to buttery notes, coconut milk and honey. The palate is fresh and incisive with good amplitude and creamy persistence, followed by floral, menthol aromas, and notes of mango, toasted bread, honey and vanilla. Villa Blanche Chardonnay is one of the flagship wines of Calmel & Joseph, and this vintage is worthy of its fine reputation.

Sourced from one of France's most underrated Chardonnay appellations comes this delicious white from Limoux. Domaine Astruc has bright gold in colour, this oak-matured Chardonnay from the Languedoc displays rich aromas of hazelnut and cashew. The palate is restrained and textured with citrus flavours and crisp acidity.

Alsace is in the far north-eastern corner of France and is noted for its excellent white wines. It is the only AOC region in France that is allowed to produce wines designated by the name of the grape variety from which they are produced. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Hugel family gained an enviable reputation for their winegrowing skills and for the meticulous way in which they cultivated their vineyards. While it's typical for one of the wine world's most northern climates to produce vintages of distinct character, the latest stands out, delivering some of the lowest yields in the last 30 years, extremely high acidity levels and healthy fruit harvested at high ripeness levels. The bouquet is very aromatic with white peach, fresh almond, green apple and floral notes. The wine is dry on the palate, fresh and well balanced, with a supple finish.

Côtes des Roses Rosé displays a warm blush colour. It has aromas of summer fruits, cassis and floral notes on the nose. The palate is full and fresh with great balance of fruits and acidity. A great summer drink to enjoy over a Sunday picnic or brunch.

Dopff Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg has quite phenomenal citrus notes with a luscious and toasty caramelised honey element. Beautifully balanced acidity and immense length. Sheer indulgence!

The wine tastes remarkably good: concentrated, aromatic, and complex. The speed with which the grapes became concentrated preserved magnificent vivaciousness. The wines are truly brilliant.
