A stalwart of the Drouhin portfolio, the 2019 Saint-Véran exhibits aromas of buttered orchard fruit, white flowers and peach. Medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy, with ripe acids and a sun-kissed core of fruit, it concludes with a slightly heady finish that reflects the extremes of the vintage. It's bottled under screwcap.

Full-bodied and ripe, this is an easy, open wine with flavors of peaches, nectarines, a touch of wood and a definite citrus element.——R.V.(11/1/2010)—— 85
