La Maison Vérizet - Cave de Viré

History of Maison Vérizet 

Maison Vérizet is part of the winemaking history of the Mâconnais, a terroir shaped over centuries by the work of winegrowers and the influence of monastic orders. In 1928, winegrowers from Viré joined forces to create a cooperative winery in order to promote their wines and their expertise.

This collective momentum contributed to the development and recognition of the terroir, culminating in 1998 with the creation of the Viré-Clessé appellation. Today, Maison Vérizet continues this legacy by showcasing the richness of its vineyards and the dedication of its winegrowers.
