Bordering its famous neighbor Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran has many facets, one of which is expressed in Les Cras. Delicate notes of white flowers, a generous, concentrated length for this beautiful Chardonnay. An excellent bargain!

Note and review by M. YVES L. Published on 31/07/2022

The wine was praised for its beautiful minerality, which it indeed has, but not to the extent of adding the adjective "beautiful". But the most damaging aspect is the hint of astringency: a slight effervescence can be felt on the tongue. It may have been a bit hot during transport (wine ordered during the heatwave of July 2022).
