Initially, rich flavors. More like an aged Vouvray than an aged white Burgundy. Some acidity began to peek through after 30 minutes and it seemed obvious this needed a decant. Consumed over the ensuing 3 hours, during which the wine lightened up and the acidity became more apparent. Moderate+ aromas of honeycomb, butterscotch, and spiced pear. Similar concentrated flavors, with good acidity in the mid palate to freshen this up and carry it through to a long lingering finish. Medium+ body. This will keep going for decades, and probably to the upside

Quick note. Rich honey and spiced pear, light residual sugar, and moderate acid to help balance it out. Closer in style to Vouvray than what you might expect from the Macon.

It has aged nicely, with a little butterscotch oxidation and showing typical botrytis and a little RS. It could use a little more acidity, but was still very enjoyable, particularly with a torchon of foie gras.

The age of this wine shows in its golden color. Palate is consistent with this, with a hint of butterscotch poking through an otherwise balanced palate. Acid keeps this well balanced, but a touch of herbal and a lack of depth belie this wine's origin from humbler environs. Pleasant but ultimately doesn't have the charm to please you more than you'd expect from a Viré Clessé. 87-88

Ah, finally ready to drink. This wine rocks tonight right out of the gate. Med. gold yellow. Take AM's note (Burghound) and combine with Josh's (from IWC) and you have the perfect description of this wine tonight. There is just the most subtle hint of mint, as well. And, my score (arrived at before I read their notes), coincidentally is an average of their two scores. Ha! This is really terrific on it's own and with food. Wish I had a fresh, steamed Maine lobster in front of me to drink this with. I can't keep the glass from my lips. Yum. (BTW, not a hint of sulfur to be found)

Showing signs of age, the wine displays a marked golden hue. The nose is very pure and focussed, there is a clear oxydative character to it but it is by far not overwhelming. Ripe fruits, some tropical elements in the spectrum. Palate is a wonder in impact and balance: intense, spherical but alcohol and acidity are perfectly kept under check, residual sugar present but not in the forefront. Oxydative character brings complexity. Good length but far from the best white Burgs. Easy to drink which is always a good sign!

An amazing Macon at its peak. Beautiful dark gold yellow, on the nose quite sweet and fresh yet deep. On the palate first sip is like a good pinot gris from Alsace(a bit oily, lot of honey, and orange/citrus qualities) then the back end is stunningly fresh with beautiful mineral and fresh back bone echoing beautifully. A stunning result from this maker which won't stop surprising me!~

Inviting yellow golden hue. Expressive nose of pineapple, mango, pâté, honey and white flowers (honeysuckle) all wrapped up tightly together with an icy freshness. If it had been a blind tasting I would have gone for a top drawer Riesling based on the nose. I found the palate to be much more stony and mineral in style yet also ample and with honey richness, and then finishing on a distinctly white grapefruit finish. What an amazing 10 year Chardonnay! This still has life in it but I would drink up over the next year. Only downside was the price...

Oh boy, yet another great pleasure provider! The color is getting darker gold. Beautiful aromas of pineapple, mature sweet peach, pear, orange peel. On the palate superbe textured mingling gorgeous tastes of citrus, exotic fruits, oily and yet pure. The back end is beautifully uplifting, and the echoes of above cords are resonating naturally and quite long. It is not sweet but yet gives the impression of, and the back end is tight with beautifully remaining acidity. Yum~

Good wine although 2002 is not the best vintage for this unique style of white burg. The weight is more pronounced with higher alcohol making this a little hot and slightlly cloying. The sulpher aspect is more pronounced as well. Still a good quality wine with appropriate food as is usually the case from this maker.

Yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of acacia, peach, a hint of hazelnut, some yellow pears, a dash of lychee and a bit of wet stones. Flavors of yellow pears, yellow apples, a bit of pineapple and some minerals. Medium to bright acidity, medium to full bodied. Drink or hold.

Big, ripe chardonnay with flavors suggesting rich apple syrup and a buttery leesy richness, and a touch of oxidation on the back end. Just moderate acid and considerable RS, so this needs a bit of a chill for everything to place nicely together. Rich, deep and intense, once it finds its rhythm.

deep golden color, but not at all oxidized. bright and fresh, and a nice mix of chardonnay fruit with something herbal, and the RS is also prominent. i preferred this much more with food - we had roast carrots with basil, and it worked well. sipping this on its own, it's a bit much for me. i think it's best, though, as a cheese wine.

Superb old school Vire-clesse (read with a touch of RS). This wine is so well balanced that it is hard to tell it's 14%. Complex nose with spices, dry apricot, ripe apple and a touch of exotic fruits. With air, great minerality (flint) adds freshness. Full body but with a great acidity, a pleasure to drink with a med finish. This one is ready to live another 15 years.

Very aromatic. Apple, tropical fruits, and graham cracker on the nose. Similar notes on the palate with a lot of minerality. Creamy mouthfeel with a lot of weight- fairly full-bodied for a white wine at 14% ABV. Medium high acidity and a medium long finish. Very good stuff.

Deep golden in color, with expressive cherry and seashore aromas, although with air and an increase in temperature the botrytis starts to take center stage. Continues to develop in the mouth, boisterous with nuances, like apple pie without the sweetness, as well as liquid rocks. In flavor if not aromas this straddles the line between sweet and savory. This is a riot of a Macon that's doing extremely well right now.

Deep golden yellow. Warm and ripe on the rich nose with notes of pineapple, apricot and apple pure. Oxidative roundness and botrytis depth with slight nuttiness. Dry but fruity on the palate with oily richness that is carried by the good backbone-bringing acidity. Aromatically in line with the nose with some citrusy bitterness and minerality towards the long finish. A fun luscious wine.

a splendid wine. Beautiful gold honey color. Superbe nose of honey, flowers, grapefruit skin, citrus, coffee beans. On the palate a great oily, round, generous texture and very, very complexe tastes all mingling together with a great backbone freshness and mineral. It is so well matured now and the aroma/texture/taste of this Macon is superbe indeed. My head is shaking in disbelief how consistent this wine has performed so far and that I've only paid 15Euros per bottle for the case. Couldn't get enough of this~

This is an outstanding wine. A current release at 6 years of age, it is, the complete package...aromas of kerosine, white flowers, stones and lemon ice, rich, almost oily fruit in the mouth with great depth and persistence. Finely balanced with excellent structure and surprising complexity, this wine is the quality equivalent of a very good premier cru white Burgundy.

Wonderful bottle of Burgundy. A beautiful Golden color in the glass. Started off with notes of Vanilla, some lemon and citrus. A very creamy and smooth mouthfeel. After about an hour opened a little more to show pineapple and coconut with wonderful citrus. The acidity was really refreshing and this did not at all seem like a 6 year old wine. This was very fresh and refreshing.
