White WineTessier Cour-Cheverny 2021
The Tessier Cour-Cheverny 2020 is purely crafted from Romorantin grapes, rooted in sandy clay soils overlaying limestone. Undergoing malolactic fermentation, its maturation is gracefully conducted in vats. Reflecting the vigor of the 2020 harvest, it's deftly balanced by its inherent crispness. This wine greets with aromatic layers of pear, citrus, hints of toasted almonds, lime blossom, and a whisper of spice, offering a delightful olfactory journey. The palate is awakened by a blend of herbal, citrus, stone, nut, and pear undertones, supported by a well-structured acidity and a richness reflective of the vintage. A lingering finish boasts a symphony of mineral, citrus, and pear essences. Ideal as a starter or paired with rich seafood, poultry dishes, Asian cuisine, and particularly with cheeses like Morbier, Raclette, or Loire's goat cheeses. With 2-4 years of aging, its complexity will surely deepen.
