Representing generations of deep viticultural roots, Stéphane Guillemin manages the family's parcels with meticulous care, prioritizing sustainable practices and respect for the local ecosystem. The estate's plots are planted on sunny, east- and southeast-facing slopes featuring limestone and clay-rich soils typical of the Mâconnais. In the cellar, Stéphane favors a balanced, minimal-intervention approach to allow the true expression of the terroir to shine. By combining temperature-controlled stainless steel aging with subtle neutral barrel maturation, the estate crafts vibrant, food-friendly Chardonnays that capture both the sunny generosity and crisp limestone backbone of the southern Mâconnais.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003eThe 2021 Viré-Clessé from Domaine Stéphane Guillemin captures the classic elegance of one of the Mâconnais region's premier white wine appellations. Created in 1999 to recognize the exceptional quality of the neighboring villages of Viré and Clessé, the AOC is famous for producing Chardonnays that blend rich, sun-ripened orchard fruit with vibrant limestone acidity. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy—characterized by cooler conditions that favored freshness and aromatic precision—yielded a remarkably balanced and energetic wine. Hand-harvested and gently pressed, the juice is fermented with native and selected wild yeasts before aging on its fine lees in stainless steel and neutral oak tanks. The resulting wine seamlessly pairs rich aromas of yellow orchard fruits, stone fruits, and delicate white flowers with a mouthwatering, chalky mineral backbone and a long, crisp finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Guillemin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47636968636565,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/domaine-guillemin-vire-clesse-2021-750ml-white-wine-bottle-13-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
