Vire-Clesse is one of France's newest appellations. It was granted by the Institute National des Appellations d'Origine in November 1997, following many years of campaigning by the vignerons of Vire and Clesse, and in particular by the Cave de Vire who control the lion's share of the appellation. The creation of Vire-Clesse appellation recognises the commitment to quality both in the vineyard and the winery, which Cave de Vire subscribe to. Yields are strictly controlled (12 x 75 cl)

Jean Thevenet Domaine de Roally Macon Clesse Description: Henri Goyard established Domaine de Roally in the early 1970's and retired recently after the 2000 vintage. He sold his 8 acre vineyard in Macon-Vire and Macon-Montbellet to Florent Thevenet, the son of Jean Thevenet of Domaine de Bongran. Carrying on the tradition of making excellent wine this is as good a Macon Blanc as you are likely to find anywhere. The full-straw coloured wine has a well-extracted depth, while the nose is a classic Chardonnay showing honey and butter. There is also the added finesse as the flavours have developed a rich, sweet, ripe fruit character which dries out delicately on the palate. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £198.78
