CROZES HERMITAGE Cuvée Albéric Bouvet Domaine Gilles Robin 2021 vs SAINT VÉRAN Les Pommards Domaine Barraud 2022

SAINT VÉRAN Les Pommards Domaine Barraud 2022

(from vines situated in Davayé, planted in rocky, high limestone content soil which abuts the Pouilly-Fuissé vineyard of Le Pommard on the edge of Vergisson and Solutré). Here too there is a mild touch of reduction that shaves the top notes from the ripe aromas of mostly white orchard fruit and citrus rind. There is excellent volume to the unusually powerful larger-bodied flavors that also conclude in a moderately dry and youthfully austere finale that displays slightly better persistence. Good quality here and worth considering.
