Saint-Péray 2019: Report and top scoring wines
Only a couple of Saint-Péray wines were worthy of recommendation from the 2019 vintage with Matt Walls finding too many lacking acidity and freshness.
I struggled to find many wines that I felt compelled to recommend from this year’s crop of Saint-Pérays, usually an appellation I enjoy.
Too many lacked acidity and freshness, and a lack of depth and complexity is not uncommon. It’s not a bad vintage, but neither is it terribly exciting.
