Viré-Clessé, located in southern Burgundy, between Mâcon and Tournus, is one of those places where Chardonnay truly comes alive. This young appellation (established in 1999) unites the villages of Viré and Clessé. No prestigious crus here, but a characterful terroir that stands out from the rest of the Mâconnais. The marl, limestone, and white clay soils, rich in fossils, give the wines their ripe Chardonnay fruit and vibrant minerality. The high altitude, with good drainage and an easterly exposure, also creates tension and finesse.
