What a brilliant showing, with 12+ years. Definitely showing sherry notes, but still a powerful punch from the mouth and a bit of primary fruit left.

Super vibrant with tons of lemon curd and fresh acidity. One of the finest examples of this twin appellation. Oh yeah - and awesome with crab cakes!

Fantastic. Paired with winter greens, Parmesan and a white truffle & white balsamic dressing.

Michel does two bottlings from Vire-Clesse, this is the more acid driven less opulent of the two. I like this wine.

Big, rich, ripe and sweet. Has some minerally aspects too.

Has that bright mineral density combined with highly complex acid structure. Another 2014 magic wine.

Some fruit on the nose. Slight reduction. Little bit of pepper and lemon zest
