Delicious, affordable red Burgundy. 70% Gamay, 30% Pinot Noir. Light and easy drinking. Pairs well with a variety of food. — 7 years ago
Took a while to open up, but once it did, it's all flowers & spices. This one is gonna be killer--holding the next bottle for a bit. Paired with braised french onion chicken with gruyère. — 8 years ago
Dusty creek basin, dried raspberries, cranberries and rainier cherry contrast with sliced red plum, crepe paper, sunflower petal. Incredible depth and texture, with stony plum, dried black cherry, fig skin, powdery raspberry, dried violets, and a baked, black olive and red saffron aura. This is a fine burgundy, and at a price that makes you smile! — 9 years ago

cherry, strawberry and dusty notes on the nose. butterscotch hiding under it. plum and black raspberries note if aerated.
intense, earthy tobacco, sour medium-full body finish. notes of the red fruits from smell, but the taste is quite different from the smell. delicious wine, would be great with lamb. — 3 years ago

Dad and granddaddy nice flavor more fruity, light - dad 60th — 10 years ago
Always at least very good, this ‘22 is an excellent rendition. Of the Maconnais AOCs, I gravitate toward Vire-Clesse because I find it has a purity of Chardonnay fruit that I find very attractive. This has it, with the nose showing gorgeous apple fruit with a slight peachy note, along with subtle stony minerality. I get more of a mineral stank from the Pouilly’s and Saint-Veran than from V-C. When it’s fruit I crave, I veer towards Vire. Fairly deeply flavored, there’s nice balance on the mouth, with pretty good, integrated acids for such a hot year, and subtle minerality. Great value. — a year ago
Topping rose - anniversary - slight peppery finish - subtle stone fruit at front - hint of plum — 3 years ago
Grapefruit pith over stone fruit and maybe apple, with good minerality. Excellent QPR! — 4 years ago
A plethora of notes coming from this fabulous wine. Bright color, loads of slate and minerals and some oakiness. This is an outstanding effort. Pairs wonderfully with cheese — 8 years ago
Strong smell of citrus fruit. Taste is definite lemon mixed with vanilla. Nice mouthfeel. Good reminder of why I like white burgundies. Great deal on WTSO. — 9 years ago
Absolutely delicious wine! Great acid balanced with minerality, pear, oak, vanilla, some smokiness, white flowers. Maybe my favorite wine of the night...and was a super interesting pairing with venison tartare. — 10 years ago
2014. St Veran that knows what it is and isn't trying to pretend to be something else. Distinctive. — 10 years ago

Medium ruby color. Aromas of boysenberry, huckleberry, graphite and pepper. What an incredible wine! Flavors of cherry, cranberry and black tea. Superb!
