Viré – Clessé

The Appellation d’ Origine Contrôleé  (AOC) of Viré – Clessé is located in the northern part of the Mâconnais sub region, north of the town of  Mâcon in Burgundy.  Most of you are probably more familiar with Mâcon-Lugny or Mâcon-Charny, yet taste Albert  Bichot’s  Viré-Clessé 2010, Maison Albert Bichot, £13.65 or £12.97 when purchasing any 12 mixed bottles from The Oxford Wine Company or £13.65 from Cafe de la Post. This stunning white Burgundy made from 100% Chardonnay has everything with ripe citrus fruit, buttery richness, minerality, a pinch of crisp acidity and the lasting elegance of lemony and subtle tropical fruit on the finish.  The Wine Tipster will be having Bichot’s Viré-Clessé 2010 with our smoked salmon this Christmas. Enjoy!
