Magnum. Low stock. Bright gold. Reserved nose but masses of acidity on the palate. A tiny bit spindly but Bongran standards. (JR)

The 2008 Viré-Clessé (Domaine de Bongran) has a rich and generous bouquet, with scents of crème caramel, Turkish Delight, dried pineapple and shaved almond, all beautifully defined and seductive. The palate is well-balanced with a fine thread of acidity cutting through the slightly honeyed fruit. There is certainly good weight here, but it is not overpowering, and there is a lovely touch of salted caramel lingering on the aftertaste. Delightful.

Jean Thévenet. Vinified in big old foudres and concrete. Wonderfully ripe nose – baked apples but bright and clear and pure. Really powerful and orangey on the palate. Mouthfilling, fresh and really intense. Dry (almost: RS 4.2 g/l) while very ripe. Sep 2012, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2011-2018
Informazioni sul produttore
Domaine de la Bongran is no ordinary Mâconnais estate. Since Jean Thévenet took over the domaine in 1972, this Viré-Clessé producer has become a cult name – with Jean a pioneer of organics and minimal intervention, as well as the estate’s unique wine style.
