Domaine David Bienfait Saint-Véran - Clos des Poncetys White 2023

Wine:

From limestone-rich hillside vineyards, the 2023 White Saint-Véran Clos des Poncetys is a wonderful showcase of this chalky terroir. The nose is both ripe and floral, with just a hint of oak that’s already beautifully integrated, bringing out a lovely mineral quality. On the palate, it’s everything you’d want in a Saint-Véran—balanced, precise, and finely tuned, with a vibrant acidity that adds just the right amount of lift. This is a wine that’s been crafted with real care and respect for its terroir, and it’ll only get better over the next 6 to 8 years. Rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee.
