Roally Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2014

A real stunner. Slightly soft in the middle yet all the better for it. Nose is grapefruit and honey, citrus, crisp green apple. Palate is honeyed and bright, discernable residual sugar, great balance and acid. Delightful. — 8 years ago

Domaine Emilian Gillet (Thévenet)

Quintaine Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2014

The bright and golden color of the wine offers a rich blast of ripe stone fruits. Elegant notes of quince are enhanced by honeysuckle. The ripeness of the abricot and the greedy of the honey are emphasized by fresh hints of litchi. Dense and intense, the palate offers a perfect balance and lays in the mouth for our greatest joy. — 8 years ago

Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2013

Really nicely performed. Definitely could compete with Bourgogne blanc and village wines of some serious producers. The vintage lends a little tropicality to this and it gestures at elegant indulgence in a nice way. Feels like you're drinking good winemaking, if that makes sense. — 9 years ago

Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon

Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2014

Wanted to drink this after listening to Dominique’s IDTT interview. Found the best nationally priced bottle in Pasadena and it showed really nicely, particularly after being open for something like 4 hours. I like his winemaking approach here, which doesn’t seem to be about elevating it beyond its provenance. It’s a delicious, mineral wine that would crush with shellfish and was lovely in the afternoon along with The Trip to Spain. — 8 years ago

Howard said this might be the last bottle of this wine in Chicago. I remember drinking it back 4-5 years ago and thinking that it was so delicious. Still doesn’t disappoint today. Chablis pc like flavors, saline with good backbone and perfumed on the nose. Great — 9 years ago
