If you ever get the chance – visit Corsin in late February. That’s when he tastes through each of his 28 tanks of Saint Véran and Pouilly Fuissé, deciding at that point which wines will go into barrel, which will stay in tank and which will go directly into bottle – each method selected to bring out the truest essence of that individual tank.
The results are remarkable and leave no doubt that Corsin is the master of white Burgundy. Period. The Tirage Précoce cuvée is one that went in bottle right away, with no oak aging, its crisp green apple and crunchy pear fruit with a mineral streak a mile long a perfect representation of the limestone-laden hills of Saint Véran.
After a short hiatus, we finally have Domaine Corsin’s new release of 2020 Saint Veran Tirage Precoce. This is an electric bottle of wine. The Tirage Precoce cuvée is one that went in bottle right away, with no oak aging, its crisp green apple and crunchy pear fruit with a mineral streak a mile long a perfect representation of the limestone-laden hills of Saint Véran.

For years now, I’ve been absolutely delighted by the White Burgundies at Domaine Corsin. There’s really good reason for that. The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. The current vintage is simply showing fantastic at the moment. The 2020 Corsin Domain’s Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ displays a bright golden hue with a hint of green. Its subtle bouquet with a woody-vanilla note enhances the slightly sharp, sophisticated fullness on the palate mingled with a generous underlying impression of toasted bread.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
