The 2021 Saint-Véran Cuvée La Combe Desroches comes from a 1.5-hectare north-facing plot on the Roche de Vergisson. Attractive white peach and Conference pear adorn the nose with a faint melon hint. The palate is well-balanced with a smooth entry, fine acidity and relatively backward with a stony, slightly malic finish. Fine, but it is for earlier drinking compared to other cuvées.
