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. This drinks beautifully, but in another ten years will be sublime.

Other reviews and comments
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

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

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
