"The 2023 Saint Véran Les Montchanins comes from south-facing vines that tend to ripen quickly and so is picked early. Raised in used demi-muids, this has a tad more mineralité and animation than the Prélude cuvée. The palate is refined and elegant with perfectly pitched acidity, a saline finish and a dab of bitterness on the aftertaste. Superb. This will be mostly bottled en magnum." - Neal Martin, August 2025
"I adore these wines. They rank among the finest in the region, and their Saint-Véran got me entertaining the idea of Premier Cru status being extended to this appellation. On the other hand, not all winemakers have the aptitude and talent of this pair." - Neal Martin
