Domaine Marcel Couturier Saint Veran La Cour des Bois, 2018

Saint Veran is nearly always less expensive than Pouilly Fuisse and nearly always almost as good. Both are Chardonnays from the Macon appellation of Burgundy, and I buy them whenever I can find and afford them. This Saint Veran one from Marcel Couturier is special.

Medium straw, bright and clear. Captivating scents and flavors: white flowers, peaches and honey with a twist of lemon. Light and delicate on the tongue but oh so delicious. For me, this is what Chardonnay is all about.
