Saint-Véran

Description :

Vineyards: The Saint-Véran is an appellation "Village" in the very south of the Mâconnais in Saône et Loire. This AOC, recognized in 1971, represents a gilded belt around Pouilly-Fuissé. As usual in Burgundy, it unites several villages: in the north, the Roche of Solutré, Prissé and Davayé; in the south, Leynes, Chasselas, Chânes and a part of Solutré-Pouilly; and, of course, Saint Vérand. The Jurassic chalky clay soil is ideal for growing Chardonnay grapes that produce only white wines.
Winemaking: This wine is mostly vinified in stainless steel tanks, with a proportion of up to 15% that is fermented and aged in oak barrels for the grapes from the older vines. This facilitates the full expression of the potential of old vines and the complexity of these terroirs. Bottling occurs in early summer.
