Viré Clessé AOP – Domaine du Mont Epin – white

Description

Domaine du Mont Épin is run by brothers Richard and Stéphane Martin, in Davayé, in the Mâconnais. Heirs to a family story that began in 1969, they farm some fifteen hectares planted exclusively with Chardonnay, including around 5 hectares in Viré-Clessé. The estate has been certified organic since the 2019 vintage.

Viré-Clessé is one of the most renowned appellations of the Mâconnais, on clay-limestone soils that produce whites that are both generous and taut.

Aromas of nuts dominate, joined by iodine touches that bring a very pleasant salinity. The palate strikes a lovely balance between minerality and roundness, wrapped in oaky nuances.
