Thevenet's Saint-Veran is a total rarity -- the top wine from a revered Burgundy producer for less than $27! What boggles my mind is that this single vineyard white doesn't cost 2x the price.
I personally think this golden-colored nectar is the top value in legendary importer Neal Rosenthal's portfolio. If you're in need of a world-class White Burgundy at almost a "house wine price," you're going to want to get in on this action. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I can't think of a better time to stock up on a few bottles.
On sale through November 7 at $26.99/bottle, over 20% off the regular price of $34.99. We have 120 bottles up for grabs!
The Thevenet family's Clos de l'Ermitage Saint Claude is a single-vineyard Chardonnay from nearly 100-year-old vines planted in rocky, limestone soils. The old vines deliver wonderful concentration, depth, and character, while the south-facing exposure ensures beautiful ripeness. Rather than using oak, the Thevenets ferment and age the wine in concrete and stainless steel, preserving the purity of the fruit and the distinctive limestone terroir.
This is just the kind of Chardonnay I want on the table for Thanksgiving, especially alongside roasted turkey, caramelized squash, parsnips, and sweet potatoes. I got into a bottle last night without a bite of food, but my imagination ran wild thinking about all the possibilities.
Full-bodied and wonderfully expressive, this offers up layers of white peach, Meyer lemon, citrus blossom, jasmine, and flint. There's wonderful concentration and depth here, but the refreshing acidity keeps everything light on its feet. That combination of golden fruit, richness, and freshness makes this a natural partner for all those savory, earthy flavors of fall.
If I were choosing one white wine for the Thanksgiving table, this would be it. With just 120 bottles available, though, I wouldn't wait too long to get yours. Get some before it's gone!
