"Creamy and dense yet balanced, offering aromas of ripe pear, white flowers and a hint of spice. The grapes are from a steep 0.71ha vineyard, the highest in Viré, and just up the slope from those for Frantz Chagnoleau's Mâcon-Villages. They are pressed as whole clusters, fermented, and aged in large older oak barrels to produce this elegant, ageable wine." - Charles Curtis MW
"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
