If this is a true statement about Viré-Clessé then I like but do not love Viré-Clessé. More mineral than fruit, this is pleasant wine with good acidity and it has freshness. But it is not complex and in the end, not terribly interesting. But again, if this place is supposed to make strongly mineral wines that are simple and satisfying, then so be it. My one problem would then be the $25 price tag. $17 seems more appropriate, before the mixed case discount.

Golden color, a little worried about pre-mox. Indeed a hint of that on the nose. Otherwise very good, but worried to wait much longer.

This wine is a terrific bargain. It is crisp and not overly acidic. It tastes of melon and grapefruit and is very consistent, bottle after bottle.

Typical barnyard smell of a white burgundy. Crisp and clean taste, light fruit and dry.
