Terres Secrètes - Saint-Véran 2012

16,5/20

Bourgogne Aujourd'hui

(Notes from the 2011 vintage)

With its intense yet delicate golden color, this Saint-Véran combines aromas of peach and pear with beautifully precise notes of white flowers (acacia and honeysuckle). Its richness, smoothness, and elegant freshness are perfectly balanced on the palate, resulting in a fresh, expressive, and very indulgent white wine.
