The wine region of Saint-Véran
White gem of the Mâconnais (southern Burgundy) surrounding Pouilly-Fuissé: signature Chardonnay as exclusive white king — pale gold with green tints, fresh and harmonious with notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white peach, apple, hawthorn, honey and a toasted-almond touch, lively balance of richness and freshness, signature minerality. More accessible and fruity than neighbouring Pouilly-Fuissé. AOC (1971), ~750 ha over 6 villages (Davayé, Prissé, Chasselas), limestone and clay, ages 3-6 yrs.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Astringency
Chemical stimulation that tightens the mucous membranes of the mouth and causes a sensation of harshness, which is characteristic of the presence of tannins. With time, the tannins lose their harshness and become softer.
