2004 VIRÉ-CLESSÉ Sélection EJ Thévenet Domaine de la Bon Gran

2004 VIRÉ-CLESSÉ Sélection EJ Thévenet Domaine de la Bon Gran

Grapes: Chardonnay  Origin: France, Burgundy
Lea & Sandeman review
Late harvested but fermented totally dry, so that the initial attack of rich honeyed fruit might seem to be sweet, but in fact is balanced by an almost perfect mineral acidity in this vintage. Both floral and honied, this drinks beautifully.

Other reviews and comments
Their top cuvée. Lots of orange on the nose, rich and a little nutty. Even more orangey on the palate but wonderfully crisp with a sour grapefruit freshness on the finish. A wine to be drunk and drunk slowly and thoughtfully. Hugely distinctive and finely balanced. Incredibly youthful. 2009-2020 17 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com
Frankly, even though this could keep we’re not sure we’d have the will power. An intriguing, aromatic, almost oriental-spice infused nose is punctuated by delicate primrose notes. A stunning Burgundian Chardonnay. Striking honeyed tones from the late-harvesting of wine, but fermented completely dry, this is fresh with a funky, aromatic, mineral streak. 94/100 www.thewinegang.com
Baked apples and real interest. Firm and dense and round and a real please-all. Look at that age! It must mature at a snail’s pace (as my botrytised 1983 from this address showed recently). Exceptional in every way. Fairly low acid. 2009-2013 16.5 Jancis Robinson MW OBE - www.JancisRobinson.com
Light yellow-gold. Sexy aromas of pear, melon, peach, jasmine and smoky minerals. Supple, deeply concentrated orchard and pit fruit flavors are enlivened by a note of orange peel and slow-mounting minerality. The finish strongly echoes the mineral, smoke and pit fruit qualities and hangs on tenaciously. This wine benefits enormously from aeration so decant it or give it few more years in the cellar. 92/100 Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
