2020 St Véran, Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon, Burgundy

Description

From parcels in Davayé (bought in 2014) and Prissé (’16), this recent addition to the stable has responded well the Lafon viticulture. It gains in tension and precision with each passing year. There is a pleasing marriage of freshness and opulence which results in a complex and expressive wine.

Critics reviews

Charles Curtis MW 93/100
This is a wine of impressive balance and length, produced from a number of parcels spread over nearly 2ha in Prissé and Davayé that ripen grapes early, yet the fruit has retained a lively acidity. Fermentation is done in a combination of large oak uprights and neutral demi-muids in order to maintain the purity of fruit, with alcohol kept at a modest (for the vintage) 12.5-13%.Drink 2022 - 2035Charles Curtis MW, Decanter.com (Oct 2021)

The 2020 Saint-Véran has a fragrant bouquet with orange blossom, Golden Delicious and light crushed rock aromas. The palate is strict and linear, well balanced and lightly spiced with a nicely poised finish. Drink over the next five years. Closure: Diam.Neil Martin, Vinous.com (December 2021)
