"The 2022 Saint V,ran Pr,lude is a blend of four warmer south-facing parcels, 60% in Priss, and 40% in Chasselas, matured for 12 months, 50% in stainless steel and 50% in demi-muids. This has just gone into its shell a little since I tasted it last year, light touches of white peach and hints of chalk. The palate is very well balanced. There is density here rather than fatness thanks to the acidity, lively at the moment, just a patina of wood to be absorbed on the finish, so afford this 8-10 months in bottle."
