"The 2022 Meurgey-Croses Viré Clessé, Vieilles Vignes (2) kept us grinning very happily. From the negociant business of star winemaker Pierre Meurgey (former CEO of much-lauded Maison Champy), it’s an absolute peach and darn good value too. Made from carefully selected, old vine Chardonnay (up to 90 years old), it sees only old oak, so intent is PM on pursuing purity and freshness. Dense, rich, citrusy, apple-y and appetisingly salty, it’s a great food wine as we discovered and deeply moreish. £21.80 down from £22.80."

What the critics say:
"Made in 450 and 600 litre barrels, not new. Pale lemon. Softer on the bouquet with the lightly honeyed richness of the appellation, especially here at the Clessé end. A little muscat touch with some sucrosity even though only 12.5% alcohol. Useful acidity, with even a slight youthful bitterness."
