Cave de Vire 6 Items

Cave de Vire was born in 1928 from a union of different producers to face the economic difficulties caused by the First World War and the Phylloxera.

Cave de Vire has always been known for the production of its white wines and for the fact that it has been a forerunner in the field of commerce since it was the first wine cellar to retail in liter and to develop its export trade.

La Cave de Sennece les Macon reinforced and supported the activity of Vire, which underwent urbanization and lost multiple surrounding areas and estates in 1995. A merger was carried out between the cellars, a fusion that would give birth in 1996 to the cellar The Chai de Sennece located in the center of the village of Sennece les Macon. Today, the Chai de Sennece offers all the products of the Cave de vire as well as a selection of Red and Rose wine.

The Vire-Clesse appellation was created on November 5th, 1997 and became the 5th appellation of the Maconnais. It took 61 years of waiting for the alliance of winegrowers and for the villages Vire and Clesse.

The Vire-Clesse produces four different communes: Vire, Clesse, Laize and Montbellet. Today, winemakers can be proud that the success of the AOP is theirs.

At the end of the 2000's, Cave de Vire brought renovation to the heart of the village of Vire and developed its new space of production buildings. In 2009, Cave de Vire opened its space, a place dedicated to tasting and discovering their terroirs.
