Albert Bichot Vire-Clesse

Albert Bichot Viré-Clessé 2020

£29.00

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
