Mineral Chardonnay and traditional sparkling wine from Burgundy's Viré-Clessé.

Cave de Viré produces Chardonnay and sparkling wines from Viré-Clessé, a limestone-rich pocket of the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy. The appellation's chalky soils and continental climate yield white wines of mineral precision and aging potential. The winery's Quintaine Viré-Clessé, a pure Chardonnay, demonstrates the region's signature balance of ripe stone fruit and crisp acidity, while the Grande Réserve Viré-Clessé offers deeper complexity from extended aging. For those seeking bubbles, the Crémant de Bourgogne Brut—a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay—captures the elegance and finesse expected of traditional-method sparkling wine from Burgundy's cooler zones. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated these releases, reflecting their standing among serious white wine drinkers.
