Calvet Varietals Chardonnay 75cl
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)You know that white that tastes like it cost more than it did? This is it. Calvet Varietals Chardonnay is golden in the glass, plump and full on the tongue, with ripe peach and a buttery, creamy finish that lingers. It's dry but rounded, so it goes down easy whether you're solo on the balcony or feeding a full table of friends. Chill it properly and it'll carry the whole evening.
First sniff and you get flowers and pineapple, a little fresh butter underneath, the kind of nose that makes you want a second smell before you even sip. Then it's soft and well-rounded on the palate, ripe peach and melon up front, a squeeze of lemon to keep it lively, and that smooth creamy finish Chardonnay does so well. Dry, but never sharp or austere. Full-bodied enough to feel like a treat, balanced enough to keep pouring.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Calvet is a proper French name, a house that's been making wine since 1818, originally out of Bordeaux. This bottle comes from further south in the sunny Pays d'Oc, the stretch of Languedoc that grows Chardonnay beautifully on its clay-limestone and schist soils. Two centuries of know-how poured into an everyday bottle. That's the whole appeal.
