Vire Clesse Domaine De La Bongran Domaine Thevenet, 2020

Domaine de la Bongran’s Viré-Clessé 2020 is a distinctive white Burgundy that shows the purity and concentration the Mâconnais can deliver at its best. Produced by Domaine Thévenet, it is known for its expressive style, balance, and sense of place, with a more textured and characterful profile than many everyday Chardonnay wines.

Tasting Notes
This wine typically shows a bright golden color with a lively, polished sheen in the glass. Aromatically, it leans toward ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, white flowers, and a subtle honeyed, mineral complexity that gives it extra depth. On the palate, it is usually rounded yet fresh, combining juicy fruit with a creamy texture and a clean, saline finish. The wine can develop beautifully with short- to medium-term cellaring, gaining nuance and complexity over the next few years.

Production
Viré-Clessé comes from the limestone and marl soils of southern Burgundy’s Mâconnais, an area well suited to Chardonnay. Domaine Thévenet is known for crafting wines that emphasize terroir and natural balance, with careful vineyard work and gentle vinification to preserve freshness, texture, and varietal character.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted chicken, creamy fish dishes, shellfish, mushroom risotto, or soft, bloomy-rind cheeses. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider opening the bottle a little before serving if you want the aromas to fully unfold.

Producer
Domaine Thévenet is a respected family producer in Burgundy, closely associated with expressive, terroir-driven white wines from Viré-Clessé. The estate has helped establish the reputation of this appellation as one of the most characterful sources of Chardonnay in the Mâconnais, and is appreciated for wines with both precision and personality.
