Saint Véran Chardonnay 2019

You can buy all wines of Chateau Fuisse without tasting them, they are all good. Also this St Veran is terrific. Silky and smooth, good on itself but better with food — 3 years ago

@Romain Fitoussi I had a tasting before New Year where quite some high end wines of this domain were served too, all great wines!

Saint-Véran Chardonnay 2022

Hot tub-! Meaning, Macon in the hot tub. Which also means that any wine tasted in hot tub conditions deserves better, & at least some recognition the hot tub distorts. Still, a lithe, Meyer lemon & mineral palate. Helps actually to be in, yes, the hot tub to loosen up the dimensionality. Would go back to this. — 5 months ago

I know, I should really be ashamed of myself. Maybe a better review would be that a very modest, well made Macon was obscured by environmental conditions. Plus I grew up up w Eddie Murphy comedy- & he did a very good James Brown skit. Pls forgive me…@Peter van den Besselaar

La Cour des Bois Saint-Véran Chardonnay 2015

Marcel Couturier, La Cour des Bois, Saint-Véran AOC, Vintage 2015, ABV 13%.

This is a Chardonnay from the Saint-Véran appellation in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy, France 🇫🇷

Mâconnais is generally known for its richer, fuller-bodied Chardonnay expressions, in part due to its more southerly positioning in Burgundy and its warmer temperatures; this wine is an excellent example. 💕💕💕

This wine was produced using older French oak barrels, softening the edges of the orchard and stone fruit characteristics and imparting complexity. A little exposure to oxygen happens naturally when fermenting or aging wine in oak barrels and this exposure may be responsible for the beautiful golden hue I see in the glass, along with time spent in the bottle. 🌞

👃 On the nose this wine has a medium intensity of developing aromas. The aromas include primary notes of tart peach, apricot, yellow apple, lemon rind, also chamomile, orange flower, white blossom, flint and wet stone, also secondary notes of toast, cream, brioche, delicate vanilla and baking spices, and tertiary notes of caramel, butterscotch, and honey. 🍐 🍑 🍎 🍋

👄 On the palate this wine is dry. It has medium(+) acidity, a medium(+) body, medium alcohol, medium intensity in flavors consistent with the nose and a medium finish.

I love the weigh, richness, and complexity of this wine, which we bought at @france_44 recently.

We have paired this wine with sautéed shrimp, roasted veggies, and jasmine rice. It’s a lovely pairing, but I suspect this wine could stand up to an even richer meal or white meat.

Have had other wines from this same house but tried this one yesterday on a mountain top in NH. Went perfectly in the frantic cliff setting. We’ll balanced quartz and granite with apples and a whiff of almonds and honey. Has good tension. — 3 years ago
