August 4, 2017 - La madurez que nos gusta en la chardonnay. Con visos de oxidación, pero que oxidación!
Mantequilla, panaderia, piedras y tiza, ahumados. Muy complejo y reconocible sin cosas raras.
La boca es una piedra, contundente pero acariciante. Acidez boca-agua, muy largo. Para repertir.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 24, 2017 - A range of fruits (tropical, white and citrus) on nose along with oyster shell and slight nuttiness. Palate has medium plus fruit that is met with acidity and mineral which makes it feel lighter; refreshing. Detectable oak treatment, but not out of step. Quite nice with food. Great value.

December 17, 2016 - Rich, oaky and warm weather notes of tropical fruit, lemon rind, nuttiness and a complement of soil complexity. Vire Clesse seems to offer a warmer, more woody, dare I say rustic, expression of Chardonnay in general. Can feel a bit cluttered and rich, rather than the perfumed and elegant precision you expect in fine Burgundy. Enjoyable, with good freshness and density on the palate, but I've yet to have a Vire Clesse that strikes me as grand or refined.
