🏰 Marie-Thérèse Chappaz's Assemblage Blanc 2023 is a highly anticipated release from a Swiss wine legend, known for her biodynamic approach and minimal intervention winemaking. This white blend typically comprises Sylvaner, Marsanne, and Petite Arvine, offering a creative and harmonious expression of the Valais terroir. The 2023 vintage is described as sparkling, both aromatically and structurally. On the nose, expect notes of lemon zest, honeysuckle, and a slightly toasted character, or candied citron, honeysuckle, lime blossom, and gunflint. The palate is vibrant with freshness and salinity from the Petite Arvine, fullness from the Sylvaner, and a beautiful bitterness from the Marsanne, leading to a long, intense, and elegant finish. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated the 2023 Assemblage Blanc 92/100, praising its complete, round, and open-hearted bouquet of ripe white fruits and flowers intertwined with flinty nuances and even salts. 【 Marie-Thérèse Chappaz is a Swiss wine legend, and her Assemblage Blanc is a biodynamic blend that beautifully expresses the Valais terroir. 】 🍴 This versatile white wine is excellent with a variety of dishes.
