2022 Domaine Philippe Tessier Cour-Cheverny La Porte Doree 1.5L Magnum, Loire, France Lioco green herbs

green herbs

Allowing  whatever is in the skins to be freely given to the must rather than forcibly extracting it

with a roundness balanced by vibrant citrus and an underlying minerality

with lots of citrus balancing out the riot of tropical fruit

The vines are naturally small berried and early ripening
