"An intensely floral nose benefits from the added breadth of apple, pear and citrus peel scents. The appealingly rich and round middle weight flavors possess plenty of palate coating dry extract before terminating in a vibrant and persistent finish that delivers fine cut and punch.

Go To Saumaize-Michelin St. Veran Les Creches

"The 2011 Saint Veran Les Creches offers attractive pear and nectarine scents on the delineated nose. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a crisp citric thread and a nicely poised, harmonious finish. This is a well-crafted Saint Veran surfeit with joie-de-vivre. Delicious! - NM"
"Initially soft, the wood and the ripe fruits of this wine develop slowly in the mouth. Then it becomes rich, generous, although with great acidity from the green plum and pink grapefruit freshness. A balanced wine, it will develop well into 2016 and can be drunk now. - RV"
"(assembled in cuve, on its finings; from vines in Davayé on what is essentially a prolongation of the hillside from La Roche, but east-facing, at lower altitude and on "softer rock"): Pale yellow-green. Lemon, lime and crushed rock on the nose, along with hints of licorice and spearmint. At once thick and crystalline in the mouth, with good density and a hint of sweetness leavened by firm acidity and underlying chalky character. Still a bit tart but finishes with noteworthy intensity and lift. This wine will be bottled without filtration. - Stephen Tanzer"
"A pure, lemon-drenched white, backed by apple and honey accents. Vibrant and lush, presenting fine balance and a lingering, focused finish. Drink now through 2018. 150 cases made. –BS"
