"A limpid green-gold color dresses this wine with aromas of exotic fruit, acacia and honeysuckle, with a pleasant citrus freshness. The attack is mineral (gunflint), the mid-palate harmonious, both fat and fresh, and the finish richer and warmer. A perfect match for poultry with cream sauce or a well-matured Epoisses".

About the wine:
A limpid greenish-gold color dresses this wine with aromas of exotic fruit, acacia and honeysuckle, and a pleasant citrus freshness. The attack is mineral (gunflint), the mid-palate harmonious, both fat and fresh, and the finish richer and warmer. Ideal with poultry in cream sauce or a well-matured Epoisses.
About the domain :
Today, this emblematic Fuissé estate cultivates 40 hectares of Chardonnay on the appellation's finest terroirs. The Vincent family has owned the estate since 1862, and Antoine, an agricultural engineer and oenologist, since 2003. Wines of international renown emerge from the 15th-century cellars: 80% are exported.

Domain rated (guide 2023) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
Brilliant gold. With its fine bursts of fresh pear, Saint Véran shines through its purity and the sobriety of its ageing. The wine's structure is invigorating, its ripeness on the edge to counterbalance the generosity of the three sectors that make up its terroir: Davayé, Prissé and the back of Mont de Pouilly. 90-91/100
About the domain :
This historic estate has belonged to the Vincent family since 1862. The château boasts many old vines. Since 2003, Antoine Vincent has been vinifying the major Mâconnais appellations here, including two Premier Crus in Fuissé, as well as a small 3-hectare vineyard in Juliénas. In 2020, we salute the mastery of woody ageing and the more homogeneous management adapted to this great vintage.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 90/100
Rated Domaine (2022 guide) Recommended
About the wine:
Saint-Véran 2020 comes from three lieux-dits: Davayé, Les Crayes and Le Clos, as well as a few parcels of Chasselas at the top of the hill, each vinified separately and aged 100% in vats. It has a lovely, well-defined bouquet, with notes of apple blossom and a touch of mirabelle plum, and good concentration. The palate is well-balanced, with impressive minerality thanks to the plots located on limestone soils. The bitterness on the finish is enough to keep you coming back for another sip. Very fine.
