Description
Domaine Chanson Vire Clesse 2022
Details of production:
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. The vineyards here have soils rich in clay, chalk and marl. 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 oysterfossils 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 cool and rainy winter and a frost episode in April, the warm and dry weather in spring was perfect for the flowering. In July and August the weather was more demanding but it became fine again early September with a true indian summer which enabled a perfect maturation for the grapes. The harvest took place mid september under a bright sunshine. The white wines develop very pure zesty aromas mixed with floral fragrances.
Tasting notes:
Pale gold colour. Delicate fragrances of fern and lime blossom mixed with citrus fruit and fresh honey enhanced by a hint of minerality. Well-structured. Beautiful minerality. Well-integrated acidity. Generous aftertaste.
How to serve:
A fine, dry apéritif, great with light seafood and raw vegetable hors d’oeuvres.
