Domaine de la Verpaille Virolis Viré Clessé 2024 Blanc

A terroir-driven organic Viré-Clessé with white flowers, citrus and orchard fruit, framed by refined texture and a long mineral finish.

🍇 About the wine

Virolis 2024 is a parcel wine from the south-east-facing limestone hillside above Viré. Made from approximately 70-year-old Chardonnay vines, it combines old-vine depth with clarity, tension and finesse. Ageing in demi-muid adds a discreet toasted accent without masking the terroir.

🍷 Tasting notes

Nose: White blossoms, citrus zest, subtle exotic fruit and fine limestone minerality.

Finish: Long, clean and persistent, carried by mineral tension.

🍽️ Food pairing

Pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, grilled white fish, delicate creamy sauces and refined cheeses.
