Les Fargettes Cave de Vire 2005 WHITE France

Those in the know have always headed to Maconnais "for good white Burgundy that won't break the bank" (Wine International). In a 5-star year like 2005 it's the place to find excellence at a sensible price. The vine-topped hills boast the same limestone soils as the famous Cote d'Or ... and Les Fargettes comes courtesy of a single vineyard in Vire-Clesse ... a new appellation created in 1998 from two of the best Maconnais Villages. Made by top winemaker Vincent Bartement who has worked hard to raise the quality bar ... no wonder Oz Clarke rates the estate as one of Vire-Clesse's very best producers. Les Fargettes is all you'd expect of the world's most hedonistic white wine style. Delicate floral aromas wonderfully rich Chardonnay fruit a mouthwatering crispness and that delicious hint of minerality. After one sip you'll be smitten!
