Light, crisp, gun-metal flinty “lesser” Burgundy. Wonderful patio aperitif on a hot summer’s night. Not as deep and mysterious as more expensive wines in the region but shamelessly better than many new world no-oak chards. Has none of the heft of its Pouilly-Fuissé and Fumé cousins but at half the price has lots of charm. I noted lovely lavender floral notes, others liked the stone fruits, apricot and peach. Just shy of a long and lingering finish, but medium alcohol and a screw-top ante up the score. (A screw top in Burgundy? Shurely shome mishtake?) Not that we keep score on this blog…
Price: Gifted. But Saint Veran sells in BC in the low to mid-20s.
Market Liquidity: Perfect under a pergola on a hot day.
