Minerals, assorted white fruits, and berries can be found throughout its spicy and opulently textured character, as well as in its long, detailed finish. Projected maturity: now-2012.

About the producer
Domaine de la Bongran is no ordinary Mâconnais estate. Since Jean Thévenet took over the domaine in 1972, this Viré-Clessé producer has become a cult name – with Jean a pioneer of organics and minimal intervention, as well as the estate’s unique wine style.
