Domaine Philippe Viet Description
Philippe Viet’s Mosaïque cuvée comes from select 50 year old vines in Régnié’s Haute-Ronze terroir – Régnié’s beloved terroir sitting just above 300 meters in elevation with soils loaded with granitic sand and gravel, as well as various deposits of clay. Viet follows the same methodology in processing for the Mosaïque as he does for his standard Haute-Ronze bottling up until elevage – whole bunch fermentation in concrete with no added sulfurs, 17 day maceration with extremely gentle pressing afterwards – however, the select vines are then aged in a roughly 2:1 mix of sandstone amphora and stainless steel tank. The results show just deep the wines of Régnié can go, here the giving fruits of Régnié turn black, tinged with licorice, ripe acids and surprising length.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2019 Régnié Haut Ronze Mosaïque has a generous, well-defined bouquet featuring brambly red berry fruit laced with rose petal and subtle tertiary scents. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with crunchy red fruit, fine grip, plenty of tension and a lively, saline finish. According to Viet's website, this should be drunk while listening to Art of Noise (the Art of Noise is "Paranoid" and the Art of Noise is "Weird"). Enjoy this excellent Régnié with whatever tickles your eardrums.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
From three small parcels within Haut-Ronze that were fermented together and matured in amphorae, the 2019 Régnié Haut-Ronze Mosaïque exhibits aromas of sweet cherries, plums, petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, it's more supple and enveloping than the regular Haut-Ronze bottling, with lively acids and a saline finish.
