This cuvée fully expresses the terroir of Bongran, where the subsoil lies just below the surface at the foot of the vines, lending the wine complexity and finesse, as well as a perfect balance between aromatic intensity and freshness. The benchmark for Viré-Clessé. Bettane & Dessauve 2019: 15.5/20 Parker: 94/100
Thevenet Quintaine is centered around three estates in Mâcon and Viré-Clessé: Domaine de la Bongran, Domaine Emilian Gillet, and Domaine de Roally. Jean Thévenet, the region’s most talented trailblazer, has always produced wines with the utmost respect for the terroir. The estates began their organic certification process in 2028. Here, one is captivated by the purity and elegance of the wines. Every vintage is a standout. Robert Parker: Jean Thévenet consistently produces superb white wines that are highly concentrated, fruity, and floral. Bettane & Desseauve: Jean Thévenet is the undisputed leader in quality in the Mâconnais region. (...) Even his simplest vintages already possess the rich body of a fine Pouilly-Fuissé and attest to the class of the hillside terroirs.
