Drinking Window: 2018 - 2019
Now into its fourth generation, this estate is run by Nadine and her all-female family team, captioning their wines with the slogan, 'le vin au féminin'. This St-Véran is from a 10.5ha vineyard on chalky clay soil, where the vines have an average age of 30 years. The wine has a rich nose of baked apple with a touch of honey. Soft and broad in the mouth, it has a floral lift to the spicy palate. There's some warmth on the drying finish, however, and the mid-palate is lacking a bit of fruit and juice.
