The 1994 Saint-Veran Domaine de la Batie offers an attractive, citrusy, honeyed apple-scented nose, good, crisp, ripe, medium-bodied flavors exhibiting fine elegance and purity, and a zesty, lively finish. It should drink well for 12-18 months. While virtually all of the Gamay crop was harvested in late August and early September, before the heavy rains hit central France, nearly all of the Chardonnay in the Macon-Villages, St.-Veran, and Pouilly-Fuisse was harvested during the rain. Duboeuf's white wines tend to be light-bodied, crisp, clean, and fresh. Among the 1994 offerings reviewed in this issue, the Saint-Veran Domaine de la Batie is my favorite. All the wines are lighter than usual, exhibiting a good, clean, correct style of winemaking, but they lack depth and intensity.
