Cuvée E.J. Thévenet Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2017

9.4

Found this forgotten bottle at the bottom of my Burgundy section in my cellar. Drank this at release and then thought: forget this a couple of years. That couple of years became 8, and today a completely different wine has emerged in the glass. Golden color and aged nutty Burgundy tones emerge. This is a wine that has a little bit of residual sugar but today's bottle has integrated it into the wine which makes it way less obvious. Still a rich tropical profile but there is enough fine filligrine acidity to support and bring balance. I think this is just past peak, so I'm going to drink my other bottles soon. Awesome wine and still relatively affordable. Worth seeking out. — 2 days ago

@Jan A, it’s always fun to find that bottle you thought had bee drunk long ago — sometimes it’s too long, but this sounds like a real winner, congrats!!

I love the Bongran. Is this as good at almost half the price?

If they were the same price then I’d take the Bongran, but at 2 for 1 I’ll take this. Very similar, just a little lighter bodied

Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2014

Can tell that everything is there to be a great wine but it just feels like the age has taken a bit off of it's zippy exciting edge. Feels and tastes a little flat. Like I would have probably loved this 2 years ago...

Still solid though.

Cuvée E.J. Thevenet Quintaine Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2015

EJ THEvenent produces unique wines in that the grapes are picked much later than other white Burgundies and consequently The Wine has a hint of sweetness and the wine is not released four or more years after the grapes are harvested. The wines are bigger and bolder than other wines from Macon — 3 months ago

Dark gold color. Nose has funk and vegetables on it. Wine is dominated by honey and camomile. Very dense and lingers on the palate. I think it’s slightly past prime, but not bad. Just not my style. — 7 years ago

Domaine André Bonhomme

Les Pierres Blanches Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2022

Grape: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Viré-Clessé
Producer: Domaine André Bonhomme

What to expect:

* Nose: Ripe lemon, yellow apple, pear, white flowers, a touch of honey.
* Palate: Richer and rounder than Chablis, but fresher and less oaky than many Côte de Beaune whites.
* Texture: Creamy with excellent minerality and a long, saline finish.
* Style: Elegant rather than powerful.
