Albert Bichot Viré-Clessé 2018

Granitic minerality dominates from start to finish, with piercing acidity that cuts a clean line through the palate. The wine feels lean and focused but lacks the fruit density to balance its austere structure. Terse and angular, it misses the richness that would elevate it.
