| | The Mâconnais on the Move
“The Mâconnais region of southern Burgundy has been radically transformed in recent decades. And the best is yet to come. .. a new generation of growers favoring quality over quantity has gotten far more serious about controlling yields and making wines with greater complexity, depth and potential longevity. The 2014 are classic wines … and typically show a broad range of fresh aromas, lovely definition and tension in the mouth owing to harmonious acidity, good terroir-driven mineral character, and solid structure and grip. It’s a vintage that will give relatively early pleasure owing to its balance but should age well.” —Stephen Tanzer |
| | 2014 Meurgey-Croses Vire Clesse Vieilles Vignes
$192 6pack
Vire Clesse comes from the town of Clessé on a land located in the heart of the appellation. The vines whose ages range from twenty to eighty years are planted on a slope to the south-east shelf called "Mount". The altitude and good drainage of this Mount preserve the freshness of the grapes. Presses are located amidst the 15 hectares of the Mount, and the grapes are pressed without transport or delay on the site of the harvests. This wine is mostly vinified in stainless steel tanks and 15% from the oldest vines are fermented and aged in oak barrels of 600 liters. |
