| If St-Veran had a Premier Cru designation, this wine would surely have it. It is bursting with lush, ripe pear, citrus flavors and a long, minerally finish. |

| One of the finest estates in St-Veran today is Domaine Thomas, which was created in 1934 and now extends over 12 hectares on southwest-facing slopes. The Thomas family has been estate-bottling the majority of their production since 1987, specializing in St-Veran.
Lucien Thomas, owner and winemaker, produces his St-Veran from old-vines planted around a remarkable, single-block, south south-west facing amphitheater vineyard. This privileged, very sunny location allows his grapes to attain excellent ripeness and concentrated flavors. The vineyards are ploughed, the vines severely pruned, and yields carefully monitored by cluster-thinning. Thomas seeks the fullest expression of fruit and terroir, and uses mostly stainless steel cuves in his winery. His wines have been regularly acclaimed by the critics for their focus, purity and intensity. As early as 2004, The Wine Spectator did a full page feature profile on Lucien Thomas, applauding his exceptional technique and the richness and purity of his wines. |
