The 'Sol et Soleil' Chardonnay: Willamette Valley's Golden Standard

The J.CHRISTOPHER SOL ET SOLEIL is a testament to the fact that world-class Chardonnay can be found outside of Burgundy. This richly expressive white wine from Oregon's Willamette Valley is the passion project of German vintner Ernst Loosen, focusing on minimal intervention and a deep respect for the region's unique volcanic and sedimentary soils.

Tasting Profile & Craftsmanship

• Aroma: Inviting notes of toasted oak, lemon zest, cantaloupe, and a subtle, enticing salinity.
• Taste: Dense yet bright, with a beautifully evolved palate showcasing nutty, creamy fruit, baked apples, and a touch of salted butter. The texture is fine-grained and the finish is persistent, demonstrating the structure required for graceful ageing.
• Cellar Notes: Fermented and matured in large oak casks for an extended period on the lees, this bottling is all about texture, depth, and a seamless integration of oak.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Enjoy this sophisticated white slightly cool, allowing its complexity to shine. It pairs exceptionally well with traditional British poultry and rich seafood dishes.
