Vins Rijckaert Viré-Clessé Rendez-Vous de Septembre 2023
The Vins Rijckaert Viré-Clessé Rendez-Vous de Septembre captures southern Burgundy Chardonnay at its absolute sweetest spot, harvested during the sunny calm of early autumn. By giving the grapes extra time on the vine, this bottle delivers generous, ripe flavour while keeping every bit of that clean, vibrant freshness you want in a great glass of white wine. Expect juicy yellow peaches, crisp green apples, and a subtle touch of wildflower honey on the nose. On the palate, it glides across with a smooth, rounded texture before settling into a bright, mouth-watering finish with a hint of flinty minerality. It achieves that rare balance of feeling rich and luxurious without ever heavy or cloying. It is a remarkably versatile white that shines just as brightly on its own as it does alongside food. Pour it generously with roast chicken, salmon served in a buttery herb sauce, or a simple board of creamy soft cheeses.
