Bettane & Desseauve
In the glass, this Saint-Véran with its beautiful intense yellow color seduces with its elegant, airy nose enveloped in notes of white flowers and a hint of vanilla. The aromas of yellow fruit and toast intermingle, offering a gourmet pleasure that is also present on the palate. The attack is voluminous, with yellow fruit expressing itself powerfully. The Chardonnay grown on the "Les Chailloux" parcel expresses a wide range of aromas: ripe fruit, minerality, it's all there!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15.5/20 (Vintage 2016) (Very good wine)
Domain 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, which we were unable to taste, and for the anecdote, some highly esteemed goat cheeses!
