Domaine de Roally
Tradition Viré-Clessé Chardonnay


The 2019 Viré-Clessé is a cuvée predesigned to be what you might call a consumer-friendly Mâconnais from less noble terroirs. I can see how the bouquet would instantly entrance the casual drinker with clean and pure red apple and lime cordial scents. The palate is rounded, not soft, but mouth-filling with lime and Clementine notes. Not long, but very drinkable. (Neal Martin, Vinous, November 2021)

On point! All kinds of wild flowers, nuts, and fruits here. Acid is perfect.

A beautifully opulent Mâconnais Chardonnay. A luminous golden robe with bright gold reflections. Bouquet of caramel, honey, lemon and lemon compote. Notes of ripe lemon and and apricot on the palate with amazingly bright acidity and a lengthy finish. A very well balanced wine. #vin_elegance #viréclessé #maconnais #chardonnay

Reduced at first but refreshing after a decant. Integrated residual sugar made me long for soft cheese.
