2014  Les Brules

Les Brules -- "Generous but not dominant wood frames a broad-ranging nose of citrus, pear, white peach, apple and floral scents. The delicious and punchy middle weight flavors possess slightly better depth and length on the balanced finale. As usual this is an extremely rich and generously proportioned effort but one where the bright and moderately firm acidity serve to maintain the balance. As such this should be more than capable of repaying 4 to 6 years of cellar time." - 91pts/Oustanding Burghound

2014  Les Combettes

Les Combettes -- "Here the nose is still noticeably reduced from the recent bottling so I would advise decanting it if you're going to drink your stash young. Otherwise the round middle weight flavors possess a suave, even plush, mouth feel that possess better concentration before culminating in a sappy and moderately complex finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose reappears. This is going to need a few years to better develop overall depth but the underlying material is such that it should happen." - 91pts/Outstanding Burghound

2015  Saint-Veran

Saint-Veran -- Born into an established winemaking family in the Maconnais, Marie-Pierre Manciat became the sixth generation to take over the family Chardonnay business in 2002 (the estate has been in existence since 1871). Up until the 80’s, the juice was largely sold off in bulk to local negociants. Then her father Claude took the helm and resurrected the domaine to its proper pedigree and potential with the use of meticulous viticultural and vinification standards, sustainable agriculture, attention to detail, etc.
