The nose on this wine conveys a mellow and fresh cloud of Golden Pearmain apple. Mellowness carries through on the palate, with a smooth core of yellow-apple freshness. An edge of peppery spice adds interest but smoothness and freshness are the chief charms of this wine. — Anne Krebiehl MW.

Domaine Guillemot-Michel: Celebrating 30 Years of Biodynamics. Written: October 2021. It was only last year that I visited Domaine Guillemot-Michel for the first time, and was immediately struck by the quality of the wines which very much helped my understanding of what Viré-Clessé is about.
Aug 31, 2020 · This was my first wine ever from Domaine Guillemot-Michel. It was very impressive for the price. A very well balanced wine with beautiful rich flavors.
The vines were converted to organic on their return, then to Biodynamic since 1991 (DEMETER certification 1992-2017, BIODYVIN since 2018). Since 2012, their daughter Sophie, now helped by her husband Gautier, has followed the same path, gradually taking over the management of the estate.
Viré-Clessé Quintaine 2017 After a 2016 vintage marked by the delicacy of botrytis, we are returning to a more "serious" profile, between the profiles of 2014 and 2015. Lots of flowers and white fruit, good tension, length and very good potential for keep.
The 2017 Viré-Clessé Quintaine is showing beautifully, unfurling in the glass with a refined bouquet of white peach, green orchard fruit, honeycomb and spring flowers.
