Maison Matisco Vire-Clesse 2020 750

Vinification & ageing : • Grapes are picked at optimal maturity after maturity tests on each parcel. • Destemming is used to avoid herbaceous taste. • Slow and gentle pneumatic pressing guarantees purity of juice and extraction of the finest aromas. • Very slow temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks generally ending by January. • Malolactic fermentation follows. • Matured on fine lees in tanks for 70% of the wine, and in 600 L. barrels for 30% of the wine, during 8 months. • Estate-bottled in July 2017. Tasting : • Golden dress, limpid • Breillonde is a singular terroir, expressing itself with a complex nose; the toasted notes supported by the pass-crassane pear and ripe peach aromas are perfectly integrated. • Generous on the palate, this wine reveals a discreet minerality, suppleness and a beautiful perfectly balanced acidity. • This Viré-Clessé Breillonde deserves to be kept in order to express itself fully. Wine & food matching : Chicken suprême with mushrooms, crayfish pastry with tarragon, curry monkfish with coconut milk.
