The Inspiration White is the estate's flagship white wine. Each year, it commands the special attention of the Cheylan family and our cellar master. It is a wine meant for wine lovers, and it is a wine that has demonstrated remarkable consistency through many vintages.
This white wine presents a rich palette dominated by exotic fruits and citrus fruits. It is a balanced, rich, and structured white wine that offers superb length in the mouth. The techniques used to vinify this precious wine are a true expression of our Château Virant expertise.

Our Inspiration White is pleasant as an aperitif and is also ideal with fish in sauce, papillotes, and all southern seafood dishes.

encore trop jeune à mon goût Je vais attendre 1 an
Comment from Chateau Virant the 12/06/2025
Bonjour,
Nous vous remercions d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre retour sur notre vin blanc.
Nous comprenons parfaitement votre ressenti concernant son caractère encore jeune. Il est vrai que ce vin a été élaboré dans un esprit de fraîcheur et de gourmandise, avec une volonté assumée de proposer un vin de plaisir, à déguster dans ses deux premières années.
Ce profil volontairement fruité, accessible et expressif dès sa mise en bouteille, correspond à notre démarche de vinification visant à offrir une expérience immédiate, sans nécessité de vieillissement prolongé. Chaque palais est unique, et si vous choisissez de le laisser évoluer quelques mois en cave, il gagnera certainement en rondeur, tout en conservant son expression aromatique.
Pour des vins moins vifs, nous proposons 2 gammes avec notre cuvée Prestige et notre cuvée Terre de Beauféran dont le potentiel de garde est plus important de 2 à 6 ans.
Encore merci pour votre confiance, et au plaisir de vous faire découvrir d'autres cuvées de notre domaine.
Cordialement,
L'équipe de Château Virant

J’avais goûté le rosé que j’avais apprécié. Les cépages du blanc me plaisant, j’ai commandé sans goûter… Très satisfait, j’ai apprécié ce vin d’été en apéritif. Floral, notes d’agrumes, vif, frais. Je recommande !

Grande découverte! ce vin blanc est tout simplement divin! Sec mais très fruité, délicieusement gouleyant, autant pour l'apéritif qu'en accompagnement d'un poisson. Ce vin est un des plus gais que j'aie dégusté! bien frais évidemment. Bravo et merci!

Bonjour
Je souhaiterais connaître le ou les cépages avec lesquels vous réalisez vos vins blanc ?
Merci de votre retour

Bonjour Monsieur,
Chacun des vins blancs de notre gamme est issu d'un assemblage particulier de cépages blancs à chairs blanches. Concernant cette cuvée, l'Inspiration, elle est élaborée à partir de Rolle, d'Ugni, et de Sauvignon Blanc.
Le Rolle confère un léger gras au vin, des arômes thiolés (agrumes) et de fruits à chairs blanches. L'Ugny apporte tension et fraicheur à notre cuvée et le Sauvignon permet le parfait équilibre aromatique en conférant notamment une belle minéralité à notre Cuvée Inspiration.
