Amounting now to some 2.5 hectares, Lafon's holdings in this appellation are significant, and the 2017 Viré-Clessé has turned out very well. Aromas of ripe yellow orchard fruit, almond paste and dried white flowers introduce a medium to full-bodied, satiny and muscular wine that represents an elegant, nicely balanced interpretation of the appellation.

This is taut, all the better to display the apple, lemon, stone and earth flavors. Balanced on the lean, linear side, this is like a high-wire act in the end. Drink now. 1,800 cases made.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Viré-Clessé Select to Add
