"The 2023 Viré-Clessé Quintaine comes from a site at around 350 meters in elevation on degraded Jurassic limestone. Medium- to full-bodied, it opens with a distinctly tropical nose of papaya and passion fruit layered with brioche. The palate is fleshy and rounded, carrying a broad, even profile through the mid-palate before tapering quickly to a finish marked by almond paste. Give it a few years in bottle to settle and integrate. - Kenna Wells"
