Drinking Window: 2023 - 2025
This cooperative in Prissé has more than 350 growers, comprising just over 1,000ha under the direction of winemaker Georges Brichon. This wine shows the additional concentration often found with the wines from Viré-Clessé. Intriguing, with notes of orange box, roasted peach, plenty of acidity, and mineral notes to balance on the finish. Long, lingering finish.
