- Dom Les Grands Crays Vire Clesse 2011 Product #26535 (In Stock)

You don't often see wines from Vire-Clesse in the USA, but this one is worth searching out. The AOC was created in 1999 for some of the highest-altitude vineyards in Macon. It's 100% Chardonnay that delivers surprising depth in the friendly 2011 vintage. Lovely aromas of golden apple and creamy, chalk, grilled nuts and chervil lead to a surprisingly rich palate with a zip of fine acidity. Golden-toned flavors of creamed corn, grilled pineapple, lavender and butter and a touch of caramelized sugar. Just a terrific effort.

From just outside of Pouilly Fuisse, this beauty is rich and deeply flavored, serving up wave after wave of pineapple, apple, and yellow peach fruit framed in mouth-tingling acidity and chalky minerality. One of the steals of our 2013 Burgundy selections - buy lots.
"A ripe, pretty and relatively elegant nose of stone, lemon rind and acacia blossom leads to saline, detailed and impressively mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess really lovely intensity and punch on the racy, balanced and appealingly dry finish."Allen Meadows 89-91 points
- Dom Thibert Pouilly Fuisse Vielles Vignes 2011 Product #27101 (In Stock)

You'll look long and hard to find Pouilly Fuisse - heck, any white Burgundy! - that's this rich, deep, and satisfying for so very little money. Chistophe Thibert makes this wine from different plots of 30+ year-old Chardonnay vines, all farmed organically and to very low yields. The 2011 is even richer than the 2010, but harvesting early kept this big wine fresh and bright. Only 8% new oak (which has already integrated since Burghound's tasting) gives depth and spice. Hard to resist now but even better from 2016 on.
"Here too a subtle application of oak frames the essence of pear and dried floral scents. There is an utterly beguiling texture to the solidly well-concentrated medium-bodied flavors that exhibit a faint minerality on the impressively persistent finish where the wood treatment resurfaces."Allen Meadows 89-92 points
