Domaine de la Verpaille Longchamp Viré Clessé 2024 Blanc

A powerful yet elegant organic Viré-Clessé, layering ripe citrus and yellow fruit with brioche, almond and a persistent mineral finish.

🍇 About the wine

Longchamp 2024 is a gastronomic Chardonnay from the clay-limestone soils of Viré-Clessé. Old-vine concentration and 12 months in demi-muid give the wine breadth and complexity, while fresh acidity and mineral tension preserve precision and elegance.
