Tessier 2023 Cour-Cheverny Domaine

The 2023 Tessier Cour-Cheverny is 100% Romorantin from vines grown on sandy clay soils over limestone. The wine goes through the malo and is vinified and aged in vats. This is a beautiful Cour-Cheverny as always with great balance and firm acidity finishing at 12.34 % alcohol, 2.11 gr/l RS and only 15 mg/l SO2 - a dry, elegant wine with moderate alcohol and great purity of fruit. The wine shows distinctive aromas of pear and citrus fruit, lime-flower, toasted almond and hints of spice, really quite lovely. The palate is scintillating and dry with citrus, pear, herbal, stone and nut flavors, with nice density and firm refreshing acidity. The finish is very long, with mineral, citrus and pear flavors that linger on the palate. Perfect as an aperitif or serve with full-flavored fish and chicken dishes, Asian foods, and especially with mild cheeses like Morbier or Raclette, or goat cheeses from the Loire. This will be very interesting with 2 to 5 years of cellaring as well. Lovely wine and a great value! We have 21 bottles - don't miss it...
