WA rating,
The 2016 Viré-Clessé Cuvée E. J. Thevenet is showing beautifully, unfurling in the glass with notes of elderflower, beeswax, pear, white flowers and peach. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, it's lively and concentrated, concluding with a saline finish. This is a more elegant, less muscular wine than the 2015, nodding to the style of the lovely 2013. I vividly remember visiting the domaine in October 2016, in pouring rain, when everyone else in the neighborhood had finished picking and Gautier Thevenet hadn't yet begun! — 3 years ago
Catching up on my notes. This was much better than the last bottle. Enjoyable, but it was crazy that this Gamay felt heavier than the Nebbiolo on the table. In its defense, it was up against Luca Roagna’s deft touch (see my notes on the 17’ Gallina). Despite its hefty structure, the Thevenet Morgon still had plenty of energy. Whole cluster goodness and plenty of red cherries. The palate was full-bodied with a supple texture. It had a touch of candied “sweetness” but plenty of acidity to keep things lively. Finished spicy with suggestions of minerality. One to revisit on a better occasion. — 6 months ago
For $18, a great buy. Fresh, young, well balanced. Great acidity. Nothing complex. No overwhelming or particular fruit. But very nice and super easy to drink. Great weekday wine. — 2 years ago

A great easy drinking Chardonnay. I normally don't like the maloactic acid of oaked Chardonnay but this doesn't really have it. It's slightly sweet but refreshing. It's has some minerality that cuts through any heft. It's a great drinking wine that would hold us to food. A great Chardonnay!
Color: A clear yellow the color of hay. It is slightly lighter than a typical oaked Chardonnay.
Aroma: Smells like Chardonnay without the maloacid creaminess. There's a slight sweetness, but mostly refreshing with some heft.
Taste: like lovely light Chardonnay with some delicious refreshing sweetness. It's medium body without the heavy, creamy oaked flavors. There are some apple and pear notes that's slightly spiced.
It's light with some minerality making it easy to drink. It has some heft so it can also stand up to food but it's light that it's great on its own. — 2 years ago
