Haut-Blanville Grande Réserve Chardonnay-Roussanne 2018

Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceFrom the stony clay-limestone of the Pays d'Oc, this blend of chardonnay and roussanne is rich and full with potent yellow apple, baked pear, toasty coconut on a fleshy palate. The whole is propped and lined with toasted wood, risking overwhelming the creamy fruit at this young age, and leaving the whole a little awkward. The roussanne gives an oily perfumed note to the richer white, leaving a floral white blossom on the finish, a la chardonnay musqué. Best suited to tackling creamy pasta dishes.Tasted: 19 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
