St Mont

7 qid (Majestic). Slight aromatic edge. Reminiscent of some Jurancon Sec in that it has that apple ish body to it. Must be something in the Gros Mensang that is characteristic - apparently it is common to both areas. Much more rounded than the Brumont green label.

Domanie de la Croix Senaillet, St Veran - Les Buis 2006

Tried this alongside WS's own label White Burgundy (see earlier post on this) by way of accompanyment to the Ramsey Seafood veloute. My earlier attempt to equate the two now seems pretty delusional. The St Veran was outstanding. Real depth of flavor. Wonderful honeyed, buttery edge to it but still kept a cripsness throughout.

May have to take the plunge and order some more of this. It has been a good advert for buying en primeur.

The Society's Beaujolais-Villages 2009

A well structured Villages which bears up well against its 7 quid price tag. This would be a good glugger.

Still, next to the ultra-bargainous Gamay it struggles.
