Cuvée E.J. Thévenet Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2014

Somm David T
9.3

The color of the 14 looks rich & starting to age Sauternes.

It is very viscous with notes of paraffin. Lots of dried fruits; apricots, juicy, overripe yellow peaches, blood orange with peel, marmalade fruits/jam, citrus blend, bruised Bosc pear, macerated, golden & red apple & dried pineapple, strong presence of gritty chalk & grey volcanic minerals, white spice, sea fossils, limestone marl, dry twig, sun tea with fruit, nuts with skin, some butterscotch & toffee, burnt raw sugar, honeycomb, warm caramel, vanillin, herbal notes, withering yellow lilies, orange Gerber daisies, grand, round acidity, great balance, still nice tension/structure, rich, smartly-elegant-polished finish without end and long sets on volcanics & spice.

Cuvée E.J. Thevenet Quintaine Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2016

No formal notes, but such a joy...
Had it with wifey in plastic glasses, on the lawn, on a sunny day, on the right side of the street.
It was a magnum and we could not stop drinking it. I possess 2 more bottles that i should have no hurry to open, but....you know...it was such a success!!!😍😍🙏🙏
Super long after taste

La Barre Viré-Clessé Chardonnay

Golden amber in color. Started out a bit sweet with some nutty notes. Botrytis? After 30 minutes it seems to have come together better. Drink ASAP. — 7 years 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

Finely textured and wispy, with a tropical / floral / leesy character. Finishes brisk and clean, on a salty/stony note. Quite pretty — 7 years ago

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

Maison Champy (Domaine Champy)

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.
