If you're searching for a white Burgundy that offers more than just freshness, look no further than the Viré-Clessé 2022 from Domaine de Naisse. This expressive and food-friendly Chardonnay from southern Burgundy shows just how exciting and complex the Viré-Clessé appellation can be. With its old vines, rich soils, and an outstanding vintage, this wine perfectly balances freshness with depth – enhanced by a subtle touch of oak. 🍋🍑🍯
✨ Fresh, rich, and beautifully balanced
In the glass, this Chardonnay glows a brilliant gold. On the nose, it offers a lush bouquet of peach, citrus zest, pear, and hints of honeysuckle. Gentle aromas of hazelnut, brioche, and a whisper of smokiness emerge, thanks to partial oak ageing.
On the palate, the wine is round and mouth-filling, yet remains lively and elegant. Expect a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity and a subtle salty edge. The oak is beautifully integrated, adding structure without dominating the fruit. The long finish lingers with flavours of ripe yellow fruit, lightly toasted nuts, and a mineral touch.
This wine has a gourmet soul – elegant enough for delicate dishes, yet full-bodied enough to stand next to creamy sauces and grilled meats. Think Meursault, with a sunny Mâcon twist.
