Albert Bichot Viré-Clessé 2020

A refined and expressive Chardonnay from Burgundy's Mâconnais region, showcasing the classic richness and minerality that the area is known for.

The wine offers vibrant notes of green apple, citrus, and peach, complemented by a subtle creaminess and hints of hazelnut, with a clean, refreshing finish that perfectly balances richness and acidity.
The wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak, providing a beautiful harmony of fruit-forward flavours and a touch of oak, while preserving the wine's natural freshness and minerality.
Albert Bichot is one of Burgundy's most respected producers, known for their commitment to quality and sustainable viticulture, producing wines that truly reflect the unique terroir of the region.
The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure only the best fruit makes it into the wine, followed by fermentation in a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels, allowing for the perfect balance of fruit, freshness, and subtle complexity.
A versatile wine that pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes, from seafood and grilled chicken to creamy pasta dishes or soft cheeses. Ideal for both casual meals and more refined dining occasions.

'Here is a creamy, opulent white, featuring peach, butterscotch and quinine aromas and flavours. A hint of rosewater and spice as it winds down on the moderately long finish.' - Wine Spectator

'The nose on this wine is shy and subtle. The palate comes in with easy but balanced flow, speaking of
Mirabelle, a certain creaminess, subtle mouthfeel and lovely freshness considering the ripeness of
2018. It's a gentle wine with inherent balance. 90 points' - Anne Krebiehl MW from Wine Enthusiast

The mouth has well-balanced structure and beautiful minerality which gives way to a certain light sweetness during the finish. - Neil Gladding, OWC
