    White wine. Mâconnais, Burgundy, France. Sustainable. 100% Chardonnay. "The 2017 Saint-Véran 'Le Clos Vessats' from Domaine Guerrin et Fils in Vergisson is their younger vine bottling from this appellation, as this two hectare Clos is planted with fifteen year-old vines. However, the vineyard is steep and faces southwest in exposition, giving good mid-palate stuffing from these younger vines. The 2017 version is very pretty and quite classic in profile, offering up scents of apple, toasty soil elements, a touch of hazelnut, white flowers and a hint of orange peel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, focused and full-bodied, with a good core, zesty acids and very good grip and soil signature on the long finish. This is ready to drink right out of the blocks, but clearly has the balance to also age quite nicely." — 89 Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar #79 (Jan./Feb. 2019)
