Albert Bichot Viré-Clessé is an elegant white wine from Burgundy, specifically from the Maconnais sub-region.

The wine comes from vineyards in the villages of Viré and Clessé. These gained their own appellation in 1999, highlighting the region’s unique terroir and winemaking traditions.

Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, Viré-Clessé thrives in the clay-limestone soils of the Maconnais. The warm climate of the region allows the grapes to ripen perfectly, resulting in wines that are both rich and well-balanced. The combination of soil and climate gives this wine its distinctive character, blending freshness with complexity.

In appearance, Albert Bichot’s Viré-Clessé has a pale golden hue with greenish tints, hinting at its freshness and vibrancy. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of white flowers, citrus fruits like lemon and lime, along with hints of ripe pear and green apple. Subtle notes of honey, almond, and a light mineral quality add depth to the aroma. On the palate, the wine is lively and fresh, with a balanced acidity that complements its creamy texture. The flavours of stone fruits, citrus, and delicate floral tones are enhanced by a gentle minerality, leading to a long, elegant finish.

Albert Bichot, a well-established Burgundy producer since 1831, brings craftsmanship and expertise to the making of this wine.

Viré-Clessé is highly versatile, pairing well with seafood, poultry, or soft cheeses, and also makes a sophisticated aperitif. This wine perfectly showcases the finesse and complexity that the Maconnais region of Burgundy has to offer, making it a wonderful choice for any occasion.
