The success story continues for Château Haut Blanville, as they now offer an exceptionally beautiful Chardonnay called Solal. The winery was founded in 1955 when Béatrice and Bernard Nivollet decided to start making wine in their beloved Languedoc. The family winery was built from scratch, a true feat of craftsmanship. The family crafts its wines with love and passion, and the newest addition is this sun-drenched Chardonnay. It's named after the sun because the sun always shines on the vineyard. The bunches are raised using completely organic methods, and this white wine reflects this.
The best Chardonnay wine from Blanville
The vineyards for this top Chardonnay are located in the Pays d'Oc wine region. The Chardonnay bunches are grown here on very old soils. The vineyard's south-facing location provides abundant sunshine for the harvest, hence the name "Solal" on the label. The bunches grow evenly and reach perfection. At ideal ripeness, the harvest is carried out early in the morning to ensure that the freshness remains in the bunches. This results in a Chardonnay wine that is full-bodied and creamy, yet also retains a touch of freshness.
What does the Chateau Haut Blanville Solal Chardonnay taste like?
This Château Haut Blanville Solal Chardonnay is an honest and creamy white wine with plenty of depth. This begins the moment we open the bottle, as we immediately encounter a powerful aroma of exotic fruit and citrus notes. In the glass, it emanates a golden yellow color with a faint green shimmer. Aromas of mango, pineapple, and lime, with hints of vanilla and spice. The palate is mildly dry with a descending character. Beautiful flavors of tropical fruit with hints of green herbs and lime.
