2016 Viré-Cléssé Vieilles Vignes, L' Authentique, Collin-Bourisset

Prachtige rijpe bourgogne zonder houttonen. Zacht en toch ook fris maar dan zonder zuren. Beduidend zachter dan menig andere Bourgogne. Mede dankzij zijn zuidelijke afkomst. 

Colour : White
Grape varietal : Chardonnay 100 %
Area : Two villages of Vire and Clesse located 15 km north
of Mâcon.
Soil : Clay and limestone from the Jurassic period.
Wine making : Harvest is fully automatic with destemming. Pressing
process of the grape to extract the must followed by a
fermentation at a controlled low temperature in
stainless steel tanks. The malolactic fermentation is
only partial to keep some of the crispyness to the
wine. Bottling after 8 months.
Tasting notes : Green-gold colour. Characteristic aromas of
muscat, apricot and exotic fruits with a very rich
mouth. It makes it a perfect match for the
« new cuisine », both sweet and salted with
spices. In a more classical way, it will also pair with
fish and white meats. To be served between 11 and
13° C
