Always at least very good, this ‘22 is an excellent rendition. Of the Maconnais AOCs, I gravitate toward Vire-Clesse because I find it has a purity of Chardonnay fruit that I find very attractive. This has it, with the nose showing gorgeous apple fruit with a slight peachy note, along with subtle stony minerality. I get more of a mineral stank from the Pouilly’s and Saint-Veran than from V-C. When it’s fruit I crave, I veer towards Vire. Fairly deeply flavored, there’s nice balance on the mouth, with pretty good, integrated acids for such a hot year, and subtle minerality. Great value. — a month ago
Saint-Veran, very close to Pouilly Fuissé but a bit south this warmer, is a great option for Chardonnay lovers recoiling at rising prices in the Côte d’Or. this wine is delightfully fresh with bright lemon, golden apple, ripe pear, white peach and a hint of new oak - in short a combination of the best of Burgundy but ripe like new world. Elegant, very well priced and, with this crisp acidity, wonderful with food — 3 years ago
