Thick and saline on entry, then seriously deep in the mid-palate, with suggestions of exotic fruits perfectly countered by strong minerality. This wine strikes a perfect balance between sweet and salty elements, and it shows vibrant acidity. It boasts a thickness that few other northern Mâconnais can match.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnjoy with fish (such as sole meuniere), seafood, roasted chicken, goat cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eReview:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The 2018 Viré-Clessé Quintaine is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of honeyed citrus fruit, fresh pastry and orange blossom. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and supple, it's elegantly textural and refined, with a fragrant core of fruit and a long, penetrating finish. Even though it will reward a bit of bottle age, it's slightly finer-boned than the more concentrated, muscular 2017, so I would opt to drink this immensely charming wine before its older sibling. – William Kelley\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- The Wine Advocate (Issue 249, June 30th 2020), 93 pts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The 2018 Viré-Clessé Quintaine continues to show very well, bursting with aromas of crisp green apple, honeycomb, orange oil, fresh bread and elderflowers.
