Chanson Viré Clessé 2015 (France)
Pale gold colour in the glass. Refreshing aromas of exotic fruit and peach mixed with spices enhanced by a hint of minerality on the nose, with well structured and tense palate. Notes of oyster shell and well-integrated acidity. followed through with spicy aftertaste.
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. In Viré, the soil is chalky with large layers of clay. In Clessé , the soil structure is slightly different with a combination of chalk and clay mixed with liasic marls combined with oyster- fossils which convey to the wine a specific minerality.This is one of the best white wines of the region combining suppleness and minerality. After a cold winter and a mild spring, the weather conditions in summer (with important differences of temperature between day and night from August onwards) were ideal and enabled a perfect maturation of the grapes. The harvest took place mid September under a bright sunshine. The white wines develop aromas of exotic fruit mixed with floral fragrances.
Food Pairing: A fine, dry apéritif, great with light seafood and raw vegetable hors d'oeuvres.
