Producer: Roisin Curley
Róisín is not only a winemaker and micro-negociant (which means that she buys the grapes rather than owning the vineyards), she is a full-time pharmacist in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, and she is also a Master of Wine.
The enthusiasm she had for wine led to Róisín exchanging her hobby for an incredible alternate life which, via lengthy studies, led her to work in Chateau Latour (yes, that Chateau Latour), Chateau Grillet in the Rhone, and Geisenheim in the Rhein and Montpelier. And finally, to Burgundy where she is making just wonderful wines, but never enough for all of us.
The Róisín Curley Beaune Blanc 2022 is a delightful expression of Chardonnay from the renowned Beaune appellation. This vintage is a testament to Róisín Curley's meticulous winemaking, capturing the essence of Burgundy's terroir in every sip.
Tasting Notes: This wine opens with a bouquet of vibrant citrus fruits, including lemon zest and green apple, interwoven with delicate floral notes of white blossom. On the palate, it reveals a lively acidity that balances beautifully with its creamy texture, offering flavours of ripe pear, honeydew melon, and a hint of toasted almond. The finish is long and refreshing, with a subtle minerality that adds depth and complexity.
