Viré-Clessé from Domaine Saumaize-Michelin is a pure, finely judged expression of Mâconnais Chardonnay, and the cooler 2021 vintage plays to the domaine’s strengths of precision and restraint. Drawn from limestone-rich soils, the wine balances freshness and clarity with quietly confident depth.
The nose opens with pear, white peach and citrus zest, joined by subtle floral notes and a gentle chalky minerality. On the palate it is dry and poised, with crisp acidity framing ripe orchard fruit. There’s a sense of tension and energy through the mid-palate, leading to a clean, refreshing finish that stays focused and elegant rather than overtly rich.
At the table, its brightness and balance make it extremely versatile. It works beautifully with seared scallops, grilled white fish with lemon and herbs, or roast chicken, and it’s equally at home alongside seafood pasta or soft, creamy cheeses such as chèvre.
