Tasting Notes
A rich, golden Viré-Clessé made from overripe grapes, with honeyed depth, truffle notes and signature Bongran freshness.
A golden, generous and unmistakably Bongran expression of off-dry Viré-Clessé.
La Cuvée Levroutée takes its name from an old local dialect word, linked to the golden-brown colour grapes take on as they reach deep over-ripeness. It is a wine built around richness and roundness, but with the freshness that makes Domaine de la Bongran so distinctive.
This is not lean, sharp Chardonnay. It is deeper, broader and more textural, with powerful notes of acacia honey and truffle, balanced by the lift and clarity of the Quintaine terroir.
For anyone who enjoys white Burgundy with weight, complexity and a slightly more indulgent feel, La Cuvée Levroutée is a brilliant bottle to explore.

The Plot
The soils are Oxfordian white marls, helping to bring freshness and structure to a wine that is naturally rich and intense. The result is a generous but balanced Viré-Clessé, with honeyed depth, savoury complexity and the fresh finish that defines the domaine.
Technical Details
In Quintaine, Domaine de la Bongran produces some of the most individual wines in Viré-Clessé. La Cuvée Levroutée comes from the tradition of harvesting grapes at deep over-ripeness, giving the wine its golden colour, round texture and distinctive aromatic depth.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
