Maison Coquard 2021 Viré-Clessé
French White
$39.99
Fresh apple and citrus zest lead a dry, lively white, joined by acacia and orange blossom. Cut hay and fern add an herbal register, while a light pepper note brings savoury contrast. The palate remains taut and lively, moving between floral, orchard-fruit and green tones. Apple, citrus and blossom provide the fruit and floral detail, set against the contrasting hay, fern and pepper.

Viré lies north of Mâcon and fifty miles south of Beaune.
