Maison Marchand Tawse Viré Clessé 2021
Vintage Character
2021 opened with a very early budburst, then hard frost on the nights of 6 to 8 April destroyed between 50 and 90 per cent of the crop in many vineyards. Flowering was ideal and the sun came back from mid-August, but volumes stayed very low. The result is a smaller, fresher vintage in which careful selection by the grower made the difference. In 2021, the Viré Clessé from Marchand-Tawse reflects that season. Viré-Clessé is a Mâconnais appellation for Chardonnay, in the south of Burgundy. A village wine comes from vineyards within a single commune and carries the name of that commune or site.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Ripe pear, yellow apple and white flowers come with a note of honey. It is dry and medium-to-full-bodied, with medium-high acidity. The palate is round and fruity, with moderate acidity and a smooth finish. It is best enjoyed fresh, with some nutty character appearing over a few years. Roast chicken, steamed crab and creamy pasta work well. Serve at about 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, and avoid over-chilling so the aromas can open. Chardonnay is a flexible grape that reflects its site, from the steely edge of Chablis to the richness of the Côte de Beaune. It also suits a glass at the start of a meal, since the acidity wakes up the palate.
Winery Background
Maison Marchand-Tawse grew from a partnership announced in January 2011 between Pascal Marchand and Moray Tawse. Marchand, a Quebec native who settled in Burgundy in the 1980s, took charge of Clos des Epeneaux in Pommard at the age of 22, and Tawse owns a winery in Ontario. The house makes wines from a wide range of appellations in cellars in Nuits-Saint-Georges, alongside about 7.5 hectares of its own vines worked biodynamically. Thomas Dinel is the winemaker listed for the range. The wines are usually rounder and riper than those of Chablis or the Côte d'Or.
