Winemaking notes
Meticulous vinification and careful maturing produce white wines with great acidity and great aromatic purity.
Viticultural notes
In the heart of the Macônnais, in the south of Burgundy, the two villages of Viré and Clessé have a very unique terroir on south-east facing hillsides. They are among the best white wines from this region, combining suppleness and minerality.
