Appellation: Viré-Clessé AOC Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay
A beautiful Viré-Clessé, where Lafon richness meets cool-climate freshness and crispness. Bright yet buttery, showing smoked cream, meringue, a touch of oyster shells and wasabi. Medium-bodied with a flavorful center palate and a long, crunchy finish. Drink or hold.
