Extended Taste Notes

The Georges Duboeuf Viré-Clessé AOC is a classic Mâconnais Chardonnay that beautifully balances fruitiness and minerality. In the glass, it reveals a pale golden hue with a glint of green. The nose is inviting, with aromas of ripe yellow apple, pear and citrus, complemented by floral notes of acacia and a touch of almond.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied and refreshing, with flavours of white peach, lemon zest, and a hint of honey. A crisp acidity and fine minerality lead to a clean, elegant finish

Producer

Convinced of the quality of his Pouilly-Fuissé wines from the family estate, Georges got on his bicycle and went to meet great Michelin starred chefs such as Gaston Brazier, Paul Blanc, Paul Bocuse, Paul Lacombe, Jean and Pierre Troisgros or the Haeberlin brothers. His wines of character naturally find their place in these prestigious restaurants.

Ambitious and enterprising, he started a few years later, in the early fifties, two joint activities. First, the custom bottling which consists in bottling at the property the production of the wine growers, who were used to sell their wine in cask. To do this, Georges acquired a Citroën truck in which he adapted a small mobile bottling line. At the same time, he created a group of producers – L’Ecrin Mâconnais-Beaujolais – bringing together winemakers from all the appellations in the region.

All these years, meeting winegrowers and their terroirs, allowed Georges to become familiar with the greatest wines of the Beaujolais and Mâconnais regions, and naturally to envisage the next step in his life!

“An excellent wine is always a work of art. It is first and foremost the result of the terroir, then of the care given to the vines, the right choice of harvest date and of course the know-how and talent of the winemaker.” Georges Duboeuf

Food Pairings

This Viré-Clessé Chardonnay is an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of dishes. Its bright acidity and fruity profile complement grilled fish, roasted chicken, or seafood risotto. It pairs wonderfully with light pasta dishes, goat cheese salads, or vegetarian options like zucchini gratin. For a traditional Mâconnais pairing, enjoy it with escargot or Comté cheese. Its balanced structure also makes it a delightful aperitif.

Wine Region

The Mâconnais subregion, located in southern Burgundy, is celebrated for its fresh, fruit-driven Chardonnays. Within this region, the Viré-Clessé AOC is a relatively new appellation, established in 1999, that combines the villages of Viré and Clessé. Known for its limestone-rich soils and sunny climate, this area produces wines with vibrant acidity, subtle minerality, and expressive fruit flavours. The Mâconnais bridges the gap between Burgundy’s more opulent Côte de Beaune Chardonnays and the approachable, everyday whites, offering wines that are both elegant and accessible.
