Chanson Pere Fils Vire Clesse 750ml

Details

In the heart of the Mcon wine growing region, South of Burgundy. The two villages Vir and Cless form a unique terroir on slopes facing South-East. In Vir, the soil is chalky with large layers of clay. In Cless , the soil structure is slightly different with a combination of chalk and clay mixed with oyster fossils which convey to the wine a specific minerality. This is one of the best white wines of the region combining suppleness and minerality. From the well-drained and east-facing slopes of the valleys Bourbonne and Mouge, the wines of Vir-Cless are famous for their delicate herbal notes. The nose makes an immediate impression with a bouquet of acacia, honeysuckle, lemon, white peach and mint. If you have the patience to age it a couple years, ripe aromas of quince jam and cooked apples will develop. Lively and fresh, with a sharp acidity, this wine is a perfect introduction to Mconnais whites. Try pairing it with white meats in a creamy sauce, Carbonara, or Camembert and fresh goat cheese on fresh baguette.
