July 7, 2014 - I usually stick with California and Washington chardonnay, because one can usually get drinkable wines for $10-$12. A couple years ago I bought a case of the 2009 Vire-Clesse on the recommendation of Joel Bermann, my local wine merchant. I believe that I paid about $20/bottle on a discount. I recall that the first couple bottles (2011-2012, if my memory serves me correctly) were good, with the classic "austere" and "flinty" character that I believe to be hallmarks of chardonnay from Burgundy. However, the last couple bottles, consumed in 2014 have tasted oxidized. My recommendation is that if you have any of this in stock, drink it up.
