The 2016 Saint-Veran Lieu Inter(Dit) comes mainly from the lieu-dit of “Côte Rôtie” near the village of Davayé plus fruit from old vines in the Terres Noires vineyards. Matured in 25% new oak, it has a powerful and expressive bouquet with plenty of citrus fruit, peach skin and grilled walnut scents that burst from the glass. The palate is well balanced with an irresistible fatness combined with a fine thread of acidity and excellent salinité on the finish. This is a superb Saint-Véran from the Belgian maestro.
