Viré-Clessé, 2024

Fragrant and expressive with bright yellow fruits and plenty of aromatic white berry notes. A step up in texture and flow, which gives a very compete, grown up quality to this. Silky, supple and rather sophisticated. From a selection within a 7ha plot that was originally part of the Château de Viré estate that Dominique Lafon acquired in 2009. Only a small proportion actually goes into this wine, the rest being declassified into Mâcon Villages. The vines are old – up to 75-years-old – and are a massale selection of the rare muscat variety of Chardonnay.
