Has anyone had a St. Veran lately that they like. I have been up and
down on these as sometimes a good buy for a French Chard but I have had
some that I have found harsh and overly acidic.

Verget makes one that is usually good (last I had was last winter sometime,
screwtop bottle Verget uses stelvin exclusively now IIRC I saw a Puligny
Montrachet from them this afternoon with such a closure.)

Probably best St. Veran I ever had was from Manciat.

The Drouhin is usually correct and occasionally great for the money
(2002).

JJ Vincent & Verget can be good.

Please note I'm more acid-tolerant than most.

Thanks, but I don't think Verget is available in Tidewater VA though I
know the Drouhin is. I'm pretty acid tolerant but the ones I had lately
were thin and very acidic.

If you can find it try Domaine de la Feuillarde also sold as Domaine
Thomas - it is beautifully balanced and his Vielles Vignes from 60
year old vines is especially good - as is his Pouilly-Fuisse. Both
are good RPQ.
