This lovely Saint-Véran, with its intense yet delicate golden color, offers a nose that blends fruit aromas (peach, pear) and white floral notes (acacia, honeysuckle) with beautiful precision. On the palate, its richness, creaminess, and elegant freshness are perfectly balanced, resulting in a fresh, expressive, and very indulgent white wine...

Bourgogne Aujourd'hui
Wine rated 16.5/20
About the wine:
These entry-level wines are always interesting because they highlight the quality of the work a winery does with large volumes. Ripe, rich, and distinct aromas of fruit and flowers. On the palate, the wine is rich and charming, while retaining a lovely freshness.

Review by Mr. SYLVAIN J. Published on October 9, 2017
Tasted in 2017. No finish, little body... Not unpleasant, but really disappointing. Domaine du Tunnel, for just a few more euros, is so much better.

A superb Chardonnay from a good cooperative winery. I recommend it after visiting the winery in person.

Pleasant and promising on the nose. Unfortunately, the flavors on the palate don't live up to expectations: flat. Best enjoyed soon.

White Burgundies are often too expensive, but this one is good and very affordable. That said, I ordered a 2011 and was delivered a 2012!

Review by Mr. MICHELE D. Posted on June 11, 2014
The taste doesn't quite match the pleasant fruit and floral aromas, but overall it's a good wine to enjoy with the right food pairing and served at a temperature that isn't too cold.
