Saint-Véran
Terroirs
Located at the south of the Mâconnais, the appellation Saint-Véran is divided into two distinct areas : hemming in Pouilly-Fuissé at the midriff on its North and South sides and sharing, in certain areas, the same privileged orientation, exposure and familiar calcareous bedrock so essential for producing fine white Chardonnay wines.
Tasting
Saint-Véran has a pleasing pale green gold colour, dry, mild, soft and fruity. When young, it develops aromas of white-fleshed fruits (peach, pear), white flowers (acacia), then yellow ones (honeysuckle, broom…) and, with time, hazelnut, grilled almond and flint stone.
