(Notes vintage 2017)

In the glass, this deep yellow Saint-Véran seduces with its elegant, airy nose, enveloped in notes of white flowers and a hint of smokiness. Aromas of yellow fruit and toast intermingle to give this delicate grand blanc its full character. The attack is voluminous, with yellow fruit expressing itself with precision.

Expert opinion

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!

Guide Hachette des vins

Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

The Lycée Viticole de Mâcon-Davayé has been training winemakers from Burgundy and beyond for generations. The adjoining 16-hectare estate is farmed organically, and Frédéric Servais, the cellar master, aims to produce the most "natural" wines possible.
