"The 2024 Vire-Clesse Les Raspilleres was the last parcel to be picked (as usual), the vines located at 360 metres and oriented towards the east. The nose is quite intense, a little petrolly in style; Riesling comes to the Maconnais! The palate is well balanced with ample weight and just a perfectly judged reduction, whilst maintaining poise and energy on the spicy finish. Vire-Clesse does not get much better."

"The 2022 Virš-Clessš Les RaspillŠres comes from more limestone soils for the appellation, aged in demi-muids (500-litres) for 12 months with a couple of months in vat. This has wonderful purity on the nose, yellow fruit, a touch of peach skin, but more white fruit emerge with time in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with sour lemon and orange rind on the entry, good extract and weight with another sapid finish that urges you back for more. Superb."
