WINE DESCRIPTION
Trénel Viré-Clessé is a delightful white wine that hails from the Viré-Clessé appellation in the South of Burgundy. The vineyards where the grapes are grown benefit from the unique terroir, characterized by a mixture of fossiliferous limestone and marl limestone, as well as a favorable climate. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, resulting in a wine that beautifully expresses the purity of the fruit. The wine is then aged in steel (75%) and in oak barrells (25%), which adds another layer of complexity. Trénel Viré-Clessé is known for its elegant and smooth style.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the palate, this wine showcases a harmonious balance between its vibrant acidity and its rich, creamy texture. The flavors of ripe orchard fruits, such as apple and pear, are complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak, which result from the wine's aging in oak barrels.
