Domaine Guillemot-Michel‌ ‌Viré-Clessé ‘Retour à la Terre’ VV

The palate is textural, luminous, and quietly powerful, opening with white peach, ripe citrus, and marmalade brightness shaped by the warm 2020 vintage and the concentration of old vines. A mid‑palate of honeysuckle, fresh herbs, and chalk‑dust minerality reflects the amphora élevage, which brings both purity and a gentle, natural micro‑oxygenation. The texture is silky yet firm, with a subtle grip that feels carved from clay. The finish is long, zesty, and mineral‑lined, tapering with citrus peel, stone‑fruit skin, and a clean, savory chalk echo.
