Viré-Clessé La Verchère 2013
Reduction knocks down the nose but there is good freshness to the textured, intense and utterly delicious middle weight flavors that terminate in a dry and complex but not really austere close. This is one of those wines of personality and verve that make you feel like drinking it.

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
