The wine region of Viré-Clessé
First Village appellation of the Maconnais (recognised in 1998): Chardonnay as exclusive signature white king — pale gold robe with ashen glints and signature aromatic profile of white flowers (acacia, hawthorn, honeysuckle, broom), apricot, peach, pear, almond and a quince touch, ample and fruity palate, tender and powerful marked by the typical Maconnais minerality and the sweetness of ripe grapes. AOC, marl-limestone, semi-continental climate, signature ageing 5-6 years, sometimes longer.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Concentrator
A device that removes water from grape must by reverse osmosis or entropy system. Its proponents say that it is better to remove water than to add sugar to produce more alcohol. The improperly used concentrator can also exaggerate bad tastes or greenness of tannins.
