Since taking over from his parents, Damien has been edging up the quality here year on year. A wonderful and classic expression of Saint Véran from vineyards in Davayé, arguably the very best of this quite...(read more)

Very inviting ripe nose, Meyer lemon with a zesty touch. Touch of peachiness, but not overripe in any way. Some florality, white blossom. Nice feel, gently creamy but great mineral line of acidity, like a squeeze of lemo...(read more)

Saint-Véran La Roche is the favourite of Frantz's partner Caroline. And its easy to see the appeal here. There's a cool elegance here. Minerality, spiciness, charming aromatics too – this has it all. A real salty...(read more)
