Note di degustazione
Great aromatic focus and complexity - honey blossom, acacia, honeycomb, light peppery spice, ginger and earthy mineral clay. The palate has a wonderful textural finesse with pink apple, mango, citrus oil and dried candy flavours, beautifully balanced with a refreshing acidity and lovely energised vinosity. This has all the taut precision you would expect from 2014 with a beautiful counterpoint of ripe, juicy, opulent fruit typical of the Thévenet cellar. Incredible wine for the money!

The 2014 Viré-Clessé Cuvée E. J. Thevenet is showing very well, unwinding in the glass with aromas of green orchard fruit, almond paste and honeycomb that are still quite youthfully reserved. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, lively and elegantly textural, with a satiny attack, attractive purity and a suppler, more inviting profile than the blocky, super concentrated 2015 rendition, but it's also showing more reserve than the tender, inviting 2013. Though it can be enjoyed now, to my palate, the real excitement will come with a decade in the cellar, so patient readers should gravitate toward this bottling.
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.
