Domaine Emilian Gillet Émilian Gillet Viré-Clessé 2019

Like Domaine de la Bongran and Domaine de Roally, Domaine Emilian Gillet belongs to the Thevenet family. Each of these three small properties features classic Mâconnais clay-limestone soils and is farmed organically and worked and harvested meticulously by hand.

Each yields a single wine, a Viré-Clessé, vinified identically in the cold Thévenet cellar and varying only in terroir particulars and the fermentation and aging lengths. Gillet is an exception only in that the vines are a long-term rental going back to 1988, while Bongran and Roally have always been family-owned.
