Verget Saint-Veran, 2004

Okay, so my colleague has suggested that I preface this review with a note of explanation.  My love for White Bugundy is absolute.  However, I feel that when I find an exceptional producer, in an albeit exceptionally large area, who has produced amazing wines time and time again, I will never stop praising their product.  In this case Verget has done it again with their Saint-Veran, 2004…

 

This wine comes from some of the best terroir sites in the villages of Saint-Veran, Priss鬠Leynes and Davay鮠Created completely in stainless tank, the nose comes across nutty, and covered with fresh cut flowers.  The tastes are a whirlwind of minerals and apples. The wine has an unbelievable length of finish, which demonstrates the winemaker?s care in creation, and selection of fruit.
 
I could only imagine walking out into some of the most beautiful vineyards, on the most gorgeous land, to create such a breathtaking wine.  I could sit, watch the sun fall over the vineyard, and enjoy a meal of mushroom risotto and fresh French cheese.  What a life!
