{"product_id":"nival-vidal-matiere-a-discussion-20","title":"Nival Vidal \"Matière à Discussion\" '20","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Matthieu and Denis Beauchemin founded Domaine du Nival in 2013; a bad idea that just wouldn’t quit as Matthieu described it to me one time. Yet very quickly, they have made a name for themselves. They are already very well known and respected in Montreal. The wines are vivid, immediate, joyous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe name of this wine, made from the hybrid grape Vidal,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Matière à discussion\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e,” \u003c\/em\u003emeans “a matter for discussion.” I suppose the question most pertinent for this wine is: “Can you make a Vidal of fullness and body?” It’s a matter for discussion, though I think they have proven the answer is yes.

That is the fun of this wine. It is wired with citrus, saline, with dusty earth, a touch of spice, like a cool-climate Grüner gone more elegant. It’s maybe a touch simple, but it’s also seamless and really beautifully integrated. It is its own composed whole. But damn – you taste the wine, and then you let me know what you think the discussion is, or should be, about.\" (Info via the importer Vom Boden)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nival","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40563022561333,"sku":"nivalvidalmatiereadiscussion20","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1835\/0685\/files\/matiere.jpg?v=1683999108","url":"https:\/\/parmanwine.com\/products\/nival-vidal-matiere-a-discussion-20","provider":"Perman Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
