Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2020 Saint-Véran le Grand Bussière, bottled for one month, is quite floral on the nose, there is a subtle mintiness here. The palate is well balanced with fine tension, lightly spiced with a touch of white pepper on the finish. Enjoy over 4-5 years.
William Kelley - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2020 Saint-Véran Le Grand Bussière offers up notes of pear and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, round and uncomplicated palate. It displays less cut and concentration than I've found in this cuvée in the past.
