The Cave de la Vigne blanche, established in Clessé since 1927, brings together the expertise of some 15 growers, who work on some 90 ha of vines. The winery produces two Crémants de Bourgogne (one pinot, the other chardonnay), as well as AOP mâcon-villages and viré-clessé. Regularly awarded medals, these wines can be tasted by the smiling store team, who also offer wines from partners such as Vinsobres and Pouilly-Vinzelles.

Owner's Message
La vigne blanche, a family wine cooperative on a human scale
A history of two villages, Viré & Clessé
It is in the heart of the Mâconnais, facing the Saône plain that the Cave de Clessé was born in 1927. It is in the middle of this idyllic setting, favourable to the blossoming of our vines, and where nature expresses itself fully, that our vintages prosper gently.
The cooperative cellar of Clessé is the result of an alliance between winegrowers concerned with improving the quality of their wine. Together, they contribute to the consecration of the cru.
Members' reviews on CAVE COOPERATIVE LA VIGNE BLANCHE
Une carte des vins assez courte, inscrite sur la grande ardoise qui trône à côté du comptoir, essentiellement axée sur les vins blancs de la région (Viré-Clessé, Mâcon Village, Crémant), mais qui propose également quelques Côtes du Rhône rouges dont La Vigne Blanche est uniquement revendeur.
Si l'on ajoute à cela la possibilité de déguster le nectar local avec de bons conseils et le sourire en prime de l'hôtesse d'accueil, je ne peux que conseiller de faire une halte rafraîchissante et délicieuse à la Cave Blanche (avec modération) avant de reprendre les petites routes sinueuses de ce joli coin de Bourgogne.
