Chanson Viré Clessé 2014 (France)

Description

Floral fragrances mixed with lemon  and fresh honey enhanced by a beautiful minerality.  Crisp attack. Well-balanced.  Beautiful minerality. Well-integrated acidity. Linear and refreshing finish.

A fine, dry apéritif, great with light seafood and raw vegetable hors d'oeuvres.

In the heart of the Mâcon winegrowing region, South of Burgundy. The two villages Viré and Clessé form a unique "terroir" on slopes facing South-East. This is one of the best white wines of the region combining suppleness and minerality.

After a very cold winter and a very warm spring, the weather at the start of summer was quite demanding.  It became fine again at the end of August.   The harvest commenced in mid-September in perfect conditions under an Indian summer. Careful selection of grapes in the vineyard and winery has produced very pure white wines, well-balanced with fantastic acidity.
