Bourgogne Aujourd'hui

This lovely Saint-Véran, with its intense and delicate golden color, combines aromas of fruit (peach, pear) and white flowers (acacia, honeysuckle) with beautiful precision on the nose. Its richness, smoothness, and elegant freshness are balanced on the palate, resulting in a fresh, expressive, and very indulgent white wine...

Wine rated 16.5/20

About wine:

These basic vintages are always interesting because they highlight the quality of work done by a company on large volumes. Ripe, rich, clean aromas of fruit and flowers. On the palate, the wine is rich and charming, while retaining a lovely freshness.

Note and opinion by Mr. SYLVAIN J. Published on 10/09/2017

Tasted in 2017. No length, little body... Not unpleasant but really disappointing. Domaine du Tunnel, for a few euros more, is so much better.

Pleasant and promising nose. Unfortunately, the flavors on the palate are lacking: flat. Drink quickly.

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 and opinion by Mr. MICHELE D. Published on 06/11/2014

The taste does not correspond to the pleasant aromas of fruit and flowers. Overall, it is a good wine to enjoy with the right food pairing and at a temperature that is not too cold.
