2024 Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau St-Véran "A la Côte"

The 2024 Saint-Véran à la Côte, from red ferrous soils and aged in 600-litre used barrels, is notably marine-like on the nose. It opens wonderfully in the glass. The palate offers hints of candied orange peel, even light mentholé elements on the entry. With fine weight and a silver thread of acidity, it just tapers a little towards the finish. Otherwise, this is very fine, very classy. (Drink between 2028-2040)
