The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Adored by the greatest Michelin star chefs, Denis Jeandeau has become a true phenomenon. Régis Marcon, Le Pré Catelan, Lameloise, l'Arpège, l'Ambroisie, Guy Savoy, to name but a few, have his wines on their wine lists. The young winemaker has always been very attentive and rigorous in his winemaking style and has chosen to produce only a limited number of elite wines with a very selective distribution. 

William Kelley of the Parker Guide raves about it: "These are precise, elegant wines that overturn the Mâconnais stereotypes of creaminess and stoutness. I encourage readers who have not encountered the wines of this impressive producer to seek them out.”
Wine Produced from a vineyard planted in the 1950s, the 2020 white Viré-Clessé delivers a very pure, crystalline profile with well-integrated oak. The palate is intense, chiseled, and mineral, well protected from excess ripeness. Its strong point remains its beautiful energy, with a level of complexity that makes it suitable for five to ten years of aging. Another achievement by Denis Jeandeau, all the more striking in this Magnum format! Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested, aged 65% in new barrels and in barrels of one to 8 wines and 35% in vats.
