"The 2022 Saint-Veran Les Montchanins comes from clayey soils that produce wines with good acitity and is habitually one of the first to be picked at the end of August on the 24th. Matured in demi-muids (Stockinger and Rousseau), it has a complex bouquet with yellow plum, jasmine and lemon thyme. Wonderful delineation. The palate is smooth and beautifully balanced. The acidity imparts fabulous tension, harmonious witha touch of stem ginger toward its persistent finish. Outstanding.
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
