{"product_id":"victoria-select-chardonnay-igp-2025","title":"Victoria Select Chardonnay IGP 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eVictoria Select Chardonnay IGP 2025 from Château Canet is a generous, fruit-driven Chardonnay from the sun-drenched Pays d'Oc in southern France. It blends the ripe, expressive style of the region with a subtle touch of oak, offering impressive quality and polish at a very approachable price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Chardonnay shows a bright golden color with light reflections. The nose is inviting and ripe, with notes of peach, yellow plum, pineapple, and citrus, lifted by a touch of vanilla and gentle toasted oak.\n\nThe palate is round, supple, and medium to full-bodied, with juicy stone fruit and a creamy texture balanced by a fresh, clean finish. A portion of the wine’s élevage in oak adds extra depth and a hint of roasted nuts, while the rest is kept in stainless steel to preserve vibrancy. It is enjoyable now for its expressive fruit, but it also has the structure to hold well over the short term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Chardonnay comes from selected parcels in Pays d'Oc, where warm Mediterranean sunshine encourages full ripeness, while cooling influences from the sea and surrounding terrain help retain freshness. Grapes are carefully chosen from the best lots of the harvest to ensure concentration and balance.\n\nVinification is split between stainless steel and oak: most of the wine is fermented in tank to preserve its fruit purity, while a smaller proportion sees oak aging for added complexity, texture, and subtle spice. The result is a modern southern French Chardonnay with a harmonious balance of richness and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe chilled at around 10–12°C. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy pasta, grilled fish, shellfish, mushroom dishes, and soft cheeses. Decanting is not necessary, though allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass can help раскры its aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Canet is based in Minervois and is led by Floris and Victoria Lemstra, who have built a reputation for producing modern wines with a strong sense of balance, fruit purity, and regional character.
