Score 92/100 · Drink 2022-2035, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Sep 2022

One of the richer wines in the range, the 2020 Viré-Clessé reveals scents of orange oil, freshly baked bread and light reduction, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny and racy palate that's attractively layered and textural.

Mid lemon; unctuous texture and old-vine concentration. (MH)

The 2020 Vire-Clessé has a fresh nose and just a hint of green olive that tinctures the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite concentrated for a Viré-Clessé with impressive depth on the finish. This is simply excellent - a great ambassador for this oft-overlooked appellation. Closure: Diam.
