"The 2012 St Véran Sur la Carrière was vinified in a demi-muid and matured in the fine lees for nine months. This has always been one of my go-to Saint Veran wines and the 2012 does not disappoint. It has a detailed bouquet with subtle scents of lemon curd, white peach and touches of yellow flower that blossom in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced with crisp acidity, great tension, well-integrated oak and a very harmonious, saline finish that lingers long in the mouth and begs another sip. This is an utterly delectable Saint Veran."

"This lively, crisp wine comes from a less than an acre of organically grown vines. It has big lemon and green-apple flavors as well as intense acidity that gives a juicy character. With its youthful freshness, it could do with a few more months to soften. Drink from 2017."
"(from northeast-facing vines on calcaire; aged in a new demi-muid_): Cool but deep aromas of white peach, orange zest, brioche, crushed stone and spices convey a youthfully medicinal aspect. Ample and rich but energetic; spicy and mouthfilling without showing any heaviness. The long, rising finish is enlivened by oak spices. This wine clearly benefited from its cooler exposition in this sunny, very warm year.- Stephen Tanzer"
"A flinty, reductive notion still colors ripe Mirabelle notes on the nose of this wine. The palate adds a coniferous aroma and presents a concentrated, vivid freshness supported by a textured, chalky mouthfeel. This wine is aromatic, poised and elegant. - Anne KREBIEHL MW"
