The 2023 Vire-Clesse has a lively bouquet with more yellow fruit than the other cuvees and touches of beeswax that develop in the glass. The palate is poised on the entry, lightly spiced with impressive harmony, a “fluid” Vire-Clesse with a persistent finish. A notch above the 2022.
score: 90 points -- Neil Martin, Vinous, 2024
