Robert Parker

(2012 Vintage Notes)

In Pommards is a rich Saint-Véran, with notes of hazelnuts, apricot, honey, gingerbread, and fresh butter. A powerful white wine with a round palate and well-integrated oak that highlights flavors of pear, honey, dried fruit, and gingerbread. A truly beautiful bottle, without a doubt!

About the estate:

Domaine de la Croix Senaillet was founded in 1969 by Maurice Martin, who gradually shifted from mixed farming to viticulture. In 1990, his son Richard took over the family estate, and was joined by his brother Stéphane in 1992. The property, which originally covered 6.5 hectares, has expanded to 25 hectares today, spread across 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).
