2017 Viré-Clessé Quintaine, Pierrette et Marc Guillemot-Michel

Here is a white burgundy of real class. The Guillemot-Michels, Marc and Pierrette, with daughter Sophie, farm their vineyards according to biodynamic principles, and the soils are subsequently teeming with life. 2017 is a great success here, the wine having astonishing energy and finesse. Colour is a bright green-gold, with fine aromas combining ripe peach, fragrant lemons and white flowers. The palate has freshness and intensity, with a beguiling, silky texture. The finish is taut, fresh and complex.
