{"product_id":"rijckaert-vire-clesse-rendez-vous-septembre","title":"Rijckaert Vire Clesse Rendez Vous Septembre","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine Rijckaert is a family run estate in Burgundy’s southern Mâconnais, with roots dating back several generations and firmly established in the village of Viré. The estate has embraced organic and biodynamic practices, focusing on minimal intervention, healthy soils and living vineyards. Vineyards are planted on steep, south facing slopes in the Viré Clessé appellation, with limestone rich clay and marl soils that provide excellent drainage and impart vibrant acidity and salinity. The cool continental influence tempered by the Saône valley allows slow ripening, producing wines with purity, tension and expressive fruit character. The estate’s commitment to sustainability extends from the vineyard to the cellar, farming to respect and reveal terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eViré Clessé Rendez Vous Septembre is crafted from Chardonnay hand harvested in early autumn. Grapes are gently pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in a combination of stainless steel and large older oak barrels, chosen to preserve freshness and enhance texture. The wine is aged on fine lees for around 8-10 months with occasional bâtonnage to build richness and mouthfeel while retaining clarity and vibrancy. The 2023 shows aromas of green apple, white peach, citrus blossom and hints of crushed stone, with lively acidity and a saline finish. It pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled white fish, creamy poultry dishes and goat’s cheese, making it a versatile companion to a wide range of cuisine during the cooler months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Mason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59229751640398,"sku":"140401","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/5061\/1516\/files\/20260322_145228.jpg?v=1774194219","url":"https:\/\/blackrockcellar.com\/products\/rijckaert-vire-clesse-rendez-vous-septembre","provider":"Blackrock Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
