Score : Burghound 89/100
This Viré-Clessé is made from biodynamically grown grapes, and offers richness and intensity. Slightly reduced on the nose, it presents notes of wood, lemon and acacia. The palate is very mineral, with an impressive long, dry and sapid finish.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (2016 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than its predecessor)

About the domain :

Christophe Cordier is always on the move, his businesses always expanding, both the family estate and the trading business. In both cases, he has invested in technical facilities of a rare level in the region, at the cutting edge of oenological progress. The approach to each parcel of land is precise and the ageing techniques are diversified, but the sometimes excessive woodiness still masks the expression of certain cuvées.

Domaine rated (2015 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Founded in 1945, Domaine Cordier was taken over by Roger Cordier in 1971. The arrival of his son Christophe just over five years ago has not changed the exemplary style of the wines. The estate has remained at the top for many years.
