Calmel & Joseph Villa Blanche Chardonnay 2016, IGP Pays d'Oc, Languedoc-Roussillon, France: It's little wonder that this wine won gold at the World Chardonnay Competition, yet it's so affordably priced. A terrific white wine from southern France that offers crisp minerality and refreshment, unusual for Chardonnay these days. Lots of lime-bright acidity for food, yet there's also an underlying richness and fullness to the wine that is mouth-filling and delicious! Very versatile with food, from fresh seafood to roast chicken or pork chops. Drink: 2017-2020. 375071 13.50% XD 750 mL $18.15 Score: 90/100. July 4, 2018
