Lying in the north of the Mâconnais between Tournus and Mâcon, Viré-Clessé is one of Burgundy's newest communal appellations and was formed to bring together the villages of Viré and Clessé which until 1999 bottled their wines as Mâcon-Clessé and Mâcon-Viré. The Chardonnays of Viré-Clessé are distinctly different from the appellations further to the South such as Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint Véran offering fresh, delicate wines with floral and herbaceous notes.
