Appellation: Saint-Véran, a village appellation of the Macônnais, produces only white wines. It is the chalky soils of the Roche de Solutré chain of hills that give this wine its temperament.
Did you know ?
The Saint-Véran appellation takes the original name of a bishop of Cavaillon from the Council of Mâcon (end of the 6th century), protector of shepherds and cattle. He gave his name to the village of Saint-Véran, which later became Saint-Véran des Vignes.

100% Chardonnay
Harvest: The grapes are cut and sorted by hand.

Its robe is a crystalline, brilliant very light yellow. The nose develops subtle fruit aromas (peach and pear) or acacia, honeysuckle and fern with notes of fresh almond, hazelnut, cinnamon and butter. On the palate, it is a dry, round wine (flint) and lively from the attack. Acidity and body then complement one another in a rising crescendo: a harmonious and fresh structure, round and vinous.
Perfect companion to seafood flavours: fish, shellfish or seafood risotto. Mushrooms and white meat will appreciate it too. It enjoys the company of goat’s cheese, Bleu de Bresse, Comté, Beaufort and Gruyères.
