All
wines tasted at the party held for baby Thomas on 25/08/12. This
wine was universally liked by those that tried it. From my Blog:’13% ABV, cork closure. £12.95 from L&S (discount for a case
price). My favourite independent wine merchant has had a lovely house claret
for some time and now they say they have found a house white Burgundy worthy to
sit alongside it. They've started with the well-regarded 2011 vintage and have
sourced this wine from a highly reputable St. Verain producer. Pale straw colour. Little oak apparent.
Nose still a little closed but has
classic chardonnay character - pears and a hint of apricot and no overpowering
buttery oak of some New World styles. The palate is quite rich with zesty
apples but with a refreshing acidity and a firm minerality on the finish. This
is a wine that will come into its own in the next year. A little closed at the
moment but still very nice indeed. From 2013, 16//20’
