Tasting notes
Aromas of confit citrus, white flowers, beeswax, pastry cream and green apple introduce the 2017 Saint-Véran Prélude, a medium to full-bodied, satiny wine with a racy spine of acidity, chalky dry extract and a mineral finish. Produced from vines in Prissé and Chasselas, it's a fine-boned rendition of the appellation despite the warm, concentrated tendencies of the vintage.

Struck match and rich. Lots there for the money. Rather green acidity on the end suggests a long life. (JR)
The 2017 Saint-Véran Prélude has a pretty bouquet of Golden Delicious apples and grass clippings; yellow flowers emerge with time. The well-balanced palate is harmonious and elegant, presenting a fine bead of acidity and a judicious touch of white pepper toward the long finish. Another excellent Mâconnais from Frantz Chagnoleau.
