Domaine David Bienfait - Saint-Véran - Clos des Poncetys - Blanc - 2022

Wine:

Born of hillside vines planted on limestone bedrock, the 2022 white Saint-Véran Clos des Poncetys perfectly expresses this chalk terroir. The ripe, floral nose, with its restrained oakiness, perfectly embodies its minerality. On the palate, the pleasure of a well-balanced, precise and chiselled Saint-Véran, with an acidic tension brought by the vintage that suits it extremely well. A fine terroir expressed with care, a wine that will age for another 6 to 8 years. Rated 92/100 by the Committee.
