"The 2024 Saint-Veran La Roche comes from the middle of the slope and is the only cuvee raised in pieces. The aromatics are very closed on the nose and clearly require some time. The palate is well balanced with impressive mineralite, very harmonious and poised, with just the right amount of spice and hints of mint and liquorice towards the captivating finish. Superb."

"From grey and blue marn soils, the 2022 Saint Všran La Roche comes from a vineyard prone to millerandage, raised for 12 months in barrel and 3 months in stainless steel. This demands a little more coaxing from the glass, touches of peach skin, candle wax, lemon thyme and Vervane. Complex. The palate is lively on the entry with ample weight, a little more heft than the La Cœte cuvše with a slight nuttiness on the aftertaste. Superb."

"Riper fruited and more orangey than La Fournaise. Lots of fine acid tension here, tighter than La Fournaise, more direct and precise. Very good and GV, especially if it ages as well as I imagine. (JH)"
