2022 Viré-Clessé 'Quintaine', Cave de Viré

“The 2021 Viré-Clessé 'Quintaine', Cave de Viré from the hamlet of Quintaine, between the villages of Viré and Clessé, all but sold out when last we offered it and little wonder - it's truly classy. Made at/by one of the leading cooperatives in the Mâconnais, it was discovered by the Mr Wheeler buying team at the Paris wine show a while back and they were instantly smitten. I can see why. Fermented in steel and aged on the lees for two years, it?s delicately honeyed and ever so slightly spicy, with beguiling, fresh apricot/pear notes and a long, bone-dry finish.”
