Guillemot-Michel 2022 Viré-Clessé "Solstice"

The Guillemot-Michel "Solstice" is a unique experimental cuvée. It's made with the best grapes from a micro-block of century old "Chardonnay muscaté" picked on a first pass, hand de-stemmed, macerated for 3 months in a sandstone amphora, pressed by hand and feet in January. No sulfites, no pump, no filtration (very light cloudiness, no deposit). This is a complex and elegant orange wine showing aromas of blood orange, peach, spice, lemon and stone that opens beautifully with air. The palate is dense and intensely mineral framed in skin tannin (not too much!) with yellow fruts, citrus and minerals in the very long finish. Decant if possible or cellar five years. Perfect with a hamachi ceviche...
