Taste Guillemot-Michel's vibrant biodynamic Chardonnay with us—bright citrus evolves into luscious stone fruits. What makes it special? That natural vitality pairs beautifully with seafood and poultry.

This Quintaine Viré-Clessé 2020 is a pristine example of 100% Chardonnay from biodynamic pioneers Guillemot-Michel, featuring bracing acidity (~14% ABV) and a vibrant citrus character that develops beautiful complexity with age. Crafted through meticulous organic vineyard management, this fine wine balances zippy freshness with refined elegance, a testament to why it remains a fixture on St. JOHN's acclaimed wine lists.

This cuvée embodies the Guillemot-Michel philosophy that "when there is life in the vineyard, there is life in the bottle," offering focused green apple notes in youth that evolve into elegant stone fruits and subtle honeyed richness with time. Perfect alongside seafood, roasted poultry, or dishes featuring fresh herbs and citrus.

Quintaine Viré-Clessé is for discerning wine enthusiasts who appreciate the marriage of precision and depth in white Burgundy, curated by experts who understand exceptional quality when they taste it.

Why It Stands Out

  • Biodynamic Excellence: Meticulous vineyard management for exceptional purity.
  • Evolution in the Glass: Vibrant in youth, elegant with age.
  • St. JOHN Selection: Hand-picked by Michelin-starred experts.
  • Ideal Pairing: Complements both casual and refined dining occasions.
  • 100% Chardonnay: Unadulterated expression of terroir.

Tasting Notes

Expect a focused, zippy profile with bracing acidity and vibrant citrus that, with patience, softens into elegant stone fruits, ripe lemon, and a subtle honeyed richness, all while maintaining its precision and depth.
