About this product
The Mâconnais's most unconventional wine — late-harvested Chardonnay from Viré-Clessé's blue clay and limestone, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on lees in old Burgundy barrels for up to 3 years before release. Deep gold with aromas of beeswax, hazelnut, white truffle, quince, and limestone mineral — a wine that defies the Mâconnais's modest reputation. The palate is rich and textured with the natural freshness of limestone acidity.
