2022 Frantz Chagnoleau Saint Veran "A la Cote"

“The 2022 Saint Véran à la Côte comes from a parcel located at 400m that tends to ripen slowly, aged for 12 months in demi-muids and barrels. This offers light brushes of quince and Clementine, a hint of wild honey but that remains in the background. The palate is beautifully balanced with a perfect line of acidity, quite a phenolic Saint-Véran, a touch more peppery than I remember this from barrel with a very persistent finish. Absolutely delicious. Drinking window: 2024 – 2038” – Neil Martin Review Date: August 2024
