Grape Variety : Chardonnay

Soil : Clay and limestone

Site : The Saint Véran vineyards are located in the very South of the Maconnais area on the communes of Saint Vérand, Chânes, Chasselas, Leynes, Prissé and Davayé.

The Vintage 2010 : After a very cold winter and a demanding spring, the hot summer was regularly interrupted by cold and rainy intervals which early September gave way to a bright and warm weather, that speeded up the maturation of the grapes. Harvest began in the last days of September under a bright sunshine. The white wines are tense with a tight texture underlined by a mineral overlay and an outstanding acidity.

Tasting : Pale gold colour. Floral fragrances mixed with citrus fruit enhanced by a delicate minerality. Well-structured and well-crafted. Beautiful minerality underlined by a well-shaped acidity. Refreshing aftertaste.

Food pairing : Charcuteries, sea-food, fish, snails as well as some goat cheeses.
