2022 Moussis "Virevolte" Rouge VdF, Bordeaux, France

An intense nose with notes of fruit, hyacinth and coffee. Palate: beautiful freshness, this is a crisp juice with flavors of plum and spices... A beautifully luscious cuvée.

Château La Closerie des Moussis is a small domaine, established in 2009, run by two women, Pascale Choime, a trained oenologist and Laurence Alias, an agronomist who is passionate about sustainable development and ecology. The two women built the winery from scratch, investing their own money and growing their vineyard area from a minuscule 1.5 acres to a modest 5 acres. 

Virevolte is a blend of Merlot with a bit of Malbec, grown organically and biodynamically, certified by Ecocert and Demeter.  Grapes are manually harvested and fermentation is spontaneous with a short maceration and 6 months of aging in stainless steel vats. Bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphites.
