Glad I saved one of these! This thing blossomed amazingly! Butter and soft boiled eggs, marigold, brioche, apricot, lemon curd and chicken bone with a nearly translucent pineapple hint to the aromas. A smoky and austere entry last year has acquiesced to briny lemon, hazelnut oil, caperberry, sesame and flint, with a resonance bordering on chalky sunflower. Stunning. Should have saved more! #Champy #whiteburgundy #bourgogneblanc #burgundy #bougogne #chardonnayfromthebestplaceonearth #chardonnay #chardon #blancshavemorefun #blanche #viréclessé — 7 years ago
Obviously Vire-Clesse- tropical, lush, floral- but there’s structure, subtlety and restraint, too. Exceptional acidity for this difficult vintage. The Janins are making the most refined wines in southern Burgundy. #terresdechatenay #viréclessé #chardonnay #mâcon — 6 years ago

Honey, hazelnut, mushroom. Rich, but not overdone. Sumptuous. Long life ahead. #viréclessé #chardonnay — 8 years ago
A beautifully opulent Mâconnais Chardonnay. A luminous golden robe with bright gold reflections. Bouquet of caramel, honey, lemon and lemon compote. Notes of ripe lemon and and apricot on the palate with amazingly bright acidity and a lengthy finish. A very well balanced wine. #vin_elegance #viréclessé #maconnais #chardonnay — 7 years ago
November-harvested, botrytised Chardonnay. Originally a banned style in Vire-Clesse but allowed now. Warm honey, manzanilla, white port. 100g RS, 4g acidity. Balanced, lively. #viréclessé #chardonnay #botrytis — 8 years ago
Smoky clay, peppermint, white mushroom, butternut squash.dry lemon-lime, lemon pith, tangerine pith, pineapple rind green olive, kumquat. Sounds fruity, but it is all on the Chardonnay, no oak on this beauty, and terroir for miles!! She is a natural woman, without pretense. Elegant, stately, sexy. #champy #burgundy #viréclessé #vireclesse #whiteburgundy — 9 years ago
