You want a white that's smooth, not sharp? This is your bottle. JP Chenet's Réserve Chardonnay Viognier is all ripe peach and apricot with a soft creamy edge, the kind of glass that goes down easy whether you're winding down solo or feeding a full table. Dry, but generous with the fruit. Chill it, pour it, and watch it disappear. We'll have it at your door before the ice melts.
First sniff and you get white peach and apricot, a little citrus lift, and that pretty floral note the Viognier brings to the party. Underneath there's a soft hint of vanilla from the oak. On the tongue it's rounded and smooth with a creamy texture, fresh stone fruit all the way through, finishing clean and dry. It's the friendly side of dry, no pucker, just fruit and balance.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It comes from the Pays d'Oc in the sunny south of France, where the Chardonnay and Viognier ripen under serious sunshine before being matured on oak staves for that soft vanilla edge. Fun bit: JP Chenet was dreamt up in 1984 by Les Grands Chais de France, and that famous slanted, curved bottle came first. The team named the shape "Josephine", then invented the man, "Jean-Paul Chenet", to give it a properly French ring. There was never a real JP. It's now the best-selling French wine brand in the world, poured in over 160 countries.
