Last born of the Maconnais communal appellations, the production area of Viré-Clessé is located 15 kilometers north of Mâcon, on the right side border of the Saone river, more precisely within the communes of Clessé, Laizé, Montbellet and Viré in the department of the Saône et Loire. This Maison Trénel wine is a selection of the best cuvées made with grapes from the calcareous clay plateaux of Clessé.

Fermentation
The fermenting process takes place in either stainless steel or cement tanks. The length of this phase varies: it can take several weeks or even several months. This is a very important stage when the wine acquires most of its character (aromas, fruit).

Tasting
