Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Saint Véran Les Rochats 2022
1*Étoile
Hachette
92/100
Vinous
"This Hachette-starred wine is rooted in a 50-year-old parcel of Chardonnay: flavors of flowers, acacia honey and white peach intermingle magnificently.
"The Saint-Véran Les Rochats 2022 comes from pinker limestone soils. It repeats the lovely bouquet I found last year: yellow plum, hints of honeycomb, quite a step back from the Les Buis cuvée, but there's much more complexity. The palate is lively and nervous on entry, the richness effortlessly counterbalanced by the silvery acidity, with a lively, animated finish. Recommended. 2026-2040" (Vinous 2024)

Golden yellow, clear and brilliant
Nose
Fine and very aromatic, the fruity notes combine with a slight touch of minerality due to its location on the slopes of the Solutré rock.

Elegant, with a magnificent balance, great suppleness and freshness, lingering in a beautiful aromatic persistence of floral and mineral notes with great finesse.

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