Fendant Balavaud Vétroz Grand Cru 2016

"From black schist soils, the 2016 Fendant Balavaud Vétroz Grand Cru offers a rich and intensely fruity but also subtle, complex and fresh bouquet of mandarins and crushed slate with this inimitable floral and slightly flinty touch. The wine is full-bodied, round, elegant, vital and fresh, provided with a persistently salty-mineral structure and a long, aromatic and pretty powerful finish. It is slightly yeasty in its balanced texture and reveals fine tannins and ripe, well-integrated acidity. The fruit flavors tend toward tropical and reflect the warm terroir of Vétroz, whereas the vital acidity, mineral finesse and purity is the result of large differences between day and night temperatures and certainly the rocky terroir. A gorgeous Chasselas that will benefit from further bottle aging."
