  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2015 Viré-Clessé Cuvée E. J. Thevenet opens in the glass with notes of fresh peach, confit lemons, white flowers and clear honey. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with striking concentration, lively acids and plenty of well-concealed structure. Long and penetrating, this is a Viré-Clessé with considerable potential for the long haul, and though it will be released later this year, simply because the winery hasn't anything else to sell, I encourage readers to be as patient as possible. Gautier Thevenet suggests that this evokes the 2005 vintage, but it also bears more than a passing resemblance to the 1989—which is drinking at its peak today, age thirty."

  Falstaff
  "Lindenblüte, Eisen, dezentes Holz, roter Apfel. Nahezu voll entfalteter Duft. Im Mund weich und mollig, leicht viskos, reife Säure hinter dem Schmelz, früh präsente gebietstypische Würze, dezent mineralische Noten, konzentrierte und dabei süß wirkende Stoffigkeit im Abklang. Sehr viel Charme! Aber auch feste Mineralität."
