Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Saint Véran Les Rochats 2022
1*Étoile
Hachette
92/100
Vinous
"This Hachette-rated wine is rooted in a plot of Chardonnay vines that are around fifty years old: flavors of flowers, acacia honey, and white peach intermingle beautifully."
"The Saint-Véran Les Rochats 2022 comes from pinker limestone soils. It has the same lovely bouquet I found last year: yellow plum, hints of honeycomb, somewhat more subdued than the Les Buis cuvée, but with much greater complexity. The palate is lively and nervous on entry, the richness effortlessly counterbalanced by silvery acidity, with a lively and animated finish. Recommended. 2026-2040" (Vinous 2024)

About wine:
This wine seduces with its delicate bouquet (minerality, white flowers, fresh honey) and its full-bodied, ample palate, balanced by just the right amount of freshness. 2024-2028
About the estate:
The Dom. de la Croix Senaillet was founded in 1969 by Maurice Martin, who gradually abandoned mixed farming in favor of viticulture. In 1990, his son Richard took over the family estate, before being joined by his brother Stéphane in 1992. The property, which initially covered 6.5 hectares, has expanded to 25 hectares today, spread over 52 plots that have been certified organic since 2010. Building on their experience, in 2015 the brothers acquired Dom. de Mont Épin in Clessé (13 hectares).
