Tasting note

The 2019 Saint-Véran "Prélude" has a simple, straightforward, quite malic bouquet that on this occasion is outclassed by the Viré-Clessé. The palate is well balanced with peach, grapefruit and apricot notes on the entry, an underlying stem ginger thread that becomes more prominent towards the finish. I suspect that the aromatics will gain complexity with bottle age, so afford it 18-24 months in bottle.

Score: 90
