From Le Mont, on the Clessé side, a cooler place at the top of the hill with thinner soil. Just nicely rounded, with silky-ripe apricot fruit, a pink floral note, and a touch of spice. A cool and calm feel, some restraint, and a just a bite of chalky minerality to carry the palate. Among my favorite examples of Viré-Clessé in this vintage, selected for its fresher balance and mineral touch. 2022–25. 85
