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: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
