Andre Bonhomme Les Hauts des Menards Viré-Clessé AOC 2019

Description

The Ménards area is located in the village of Viré. The hillside is steep with east/south-east exposure, and the soil is composed of shallow red clays on limestone bedrock. Our plot is over 80 years old which allows controlled yields and therefore wines of great density. The slow and natural winemaking takes place in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts and bacteria for a total fermenting time of 24 months. The wines of this clime combine strength and elegance, they age very well. Green gold with golden reflections. Powerful notes of white flowers and ripe fruits. Nice notes of toast and hazelnuts add complexity. Complex and dense, with flavors of ripe fruits, acacia, hawthorn and hazelnut. The roasted notes associated with the smokey mineral notes add balance. The finish is long and fresh with mint and spices.
