RVF

Planted in 1938, the old Chardonnay vines of Clos du Château benefit from one of the best terroirs on the Pontecys estate. This south-facing parcel produces a highly expressive wine of particular density. The attack on the palate is rich and complex. Notes of brioche and vanilla mingle with fruity and floral aromas. A dense, ripe Saint-Véran!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2019 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

This estate, located in the heart of the best Davayé terroirs, is owned by the Lycée Viticole de Mâcon Davayé, and for some years now has been courageously practicing organic farming on no less than 16 hectares, mainly in the Saint-Véran appellation. The winemaking approach here has a major impact on the style of the wines, with very unadorned juices undergoing prolonged fermentation at low temperature. The result is a modern, seductive profile. Note a rare and more original production of reds that we were unable to taste, and for the anecdote, some highly esteemed goat cheeses!
