Description
A unique and ultra-plush expression of fine white Burgundy, 2018 Domaine de la Bongran Viré-Clessé Cuvée E.J. Thévenet opens with an exotic bouquet of nectarine, acacia, and yellow apple, seasoned with notes of mineral and spice. On the palate, it offers impressive lushness, complexity, and richness, with significant aging potential. With an impressive score of 92 points from Vinous, this is a fine white Burgundy, and a holiday treat!
Carlos’ Cheese Pairing: Gruyère de Comté
Gruyère de Comté, or just Comté, is Swiss Gruyère's French fraternal twin. Made in the Jura Massif on the border with Switzerland, this semi-hard cheese is made from milk from special French Simmental cattle that give the cheese its depth and richness, balanced by aromas of brown butter and roasted nuts on a sweet finish.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2018 Viré-Clessé Cuvée E.J. Thevenet, a selection in the vineyard on white marn soils, has a complex and well-defined bouquet with apricot blossom, jasmine, wild peaches and light floral scents. The palate is very well balanced considering the warmth of the growing season with a fine spine of acidity, dried honey and orange pith mixed with white pepper on the finish.
