Viré-Clessé Vieilles Vignes 2020/22 Christophe Cordier

Description

Cordier’s Viré-Clessé is made from 40-year-old vines from village of Viré, with grapes bought in from a mixture of winegrowers, some of which practise biodynamic viticulture. Using 300lt barrels, 10% of which are new, the lees are also stirred for added body. Elegant yet opulent, this wine combines fresh fruit on the palate with a minerally core, with added dimension provide by a slight toastiness. Langoustines, lobster and prawn dishes will match well with this wine, as will most fowl recipes.
