"A complex, gourmet organic Saint-Véran!

Intense, the nose of this Saint-Véran offers scents of stone fruits, with notes of Williams pear, peach and lemon zest. On the palate, the attack is beautifully fresh, with greedy fruit aromas of pear, quince and nectarine, leading to a lively, mineral finish with buttery notes.

"A royal Chardonnay

The old vines of Clos du Château, one of the best terroirs in the Poncetys vineyard, deliver a seductive, delicate white wine. The nose reveals aromas of mango, followed by woody, smoky and mineral notes. The dense palate perfectly conveys the terroir through spices, weathered rock and a hint of mango. The finish is long, straightforward and freshly acidic. We can't wait to taste it!

"A great wine in a flagship appellation, to be bought by the case!"

"A crisp, clean vintage with a lively appeal".

A juicy, concentrated, saline wine with citrus bitters. A wine of great relief, from a 2-hectare plot in a single block, with a view of Mont Blanc on fine days. This Saint-Véran perfectly represents the characteristics of its terroir through its liveliness.

"The clay-limestone soils reveal themselves in a generous, saline wine".

"Saint-Véran 2022 comes from clay-limestone soils around Davayé, plus a few parcels in the hills. It was bottled early, in May 2023. The bouquet is well-defined and concentrated. It's a little laconic at first, with hints of apple blossom and a muscat scent in the background. The palate is well-balanced, with good density on entry, a slightly waxy texture, lemony citrus mingling with nutty, earthy notes on the finish. Very good." (Vinous 2023)

"The Saint-Véran 2022 has a well-defined floral bouquet, with buttercup and damp meadow scents unfolding in the glass. The palate is well balanced, with a mischievous openness and lively acidity. The style is classic and, in fact, blind (as it is), I would have thought this was a 2021 instead of a 2022. But it's still a well-made Saint-Véran that should age well. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting". (Vinous 2023). Try this Saint-Véran with sushi!

"An elegant, gourmet Saint-Véran!

Clos des Poncetys seduces with its golden hue, and reveals a rich, delicate fruitiness on the nose. Pineapple, grapefruit and mango aromas mingle with lightly herbaceous, charming notes. The attack is fresh and balanced. It develops around flavors of white peach and pineapple, complemented by mineral notes, ending with a long, well-balanced finish. The finesse and complexity of a certified organic white wine!

"The 2017 Saint-Véran Bois de Fée blends notes of citrus oil, crisp green apple and Anjou pear with an elegant patina of marzipan and vanilla bean. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with lovely acidity and a long, saline finish, the tasting went very well." (Wine Advocate 2021) A high-flying cuvée.

Draped in a golden color, Saint Véran Les Plantés is by turns generous and airy. The nose is as fine as it is concentrated, with notes of exotic fruit, pear and toasted almonds. The palate is deep, straightforward and slightly spicy. A model of balance and purity!

chardonnay
precise

"The house's best Mâconnais wine and a serious rival for the villages of the Côte d'Or. Precise nose, between lemony honey and yellow fruit, ripe grapes, with no fashionable tendency towards greenness, all it needs is a little more sophisticated ageing." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) A very pretty bottle!

"A very pure Chardonnay, with a ripe, honeysuckle nose. The vintage has been criticized, but here it shows fine balance, the result of a very ripe harvest. The woodiness is mellow, giving fine toasty aspects that lengthen the wine's persistence. A great gastronomic wine" (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF)

"Superb Chardonnay

"A small, hand-harvested parcel of 47 ares, vinified and aged in oak barrels for 11 months, is the source of this brilliant wine, with its intense bouquet of apricot, pine sap and old boy jam. The palate is rich, ample and generous, centered on ripe yellow fruit" (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022).
