Clos des Juillys | Saint-Véran
2006
BIN ENDThis St-Véran, made in the vaulted cellars of a small Louis XIV chateau, is we think quite exceptional. It gets the top rating, a "coup de coeur", in the 2009 Guide Hachette des Vins and drinks like a fine white Burgundy from a far grander appellation. 2006 was a very good vintage for white Burgundy but unfortunately they only have a very small amount left so snap it up while you can.
The Press
‘Good expression of ripe fruits with some apple flavours and creaminess. Good complexity on the palate, easy drinking Chardonnay with solid structure and rich fruit characters on the finish.’ — Decanter MagazineOur tasting notes
Lovely colour, buttery, smooth white Burgundy, with a hint of white peaches. Full body and a glorious, lively, rich after taste.Wine data

About Saint-Véran
This appellation, created in 1971 for white Chardonnay wines of Southern Burgundy, borders Pouilly-Fuisse and Pouilly-Vinzelles, as well as Macon, to which it is superior. Auberon Waugh regularly sang the praises of St-Véran as the best way to drink really good white Burgundy relatively cheaply.
