High quality cuvee. The vineyard, facing the sun due south, starts in the village of Chasselas. This wine offers a bouquet that is the perfect marriage between the wood used in the ageing process (toasted bread) and the aromas of the grape variety (pear and lemon). It pleasantly stimulates the nose with its aromatic complexity: hawthorn, chalk, lemon and a slight touch of hazelnut.
The palate is generous, crisp, with an undercurrent of gentle acidity frame that flatters the taste buds. An ample and powerful attack opens on to a dense palate, perfectly balanced by a very fine slightly saline minerality. The elegant, yet structured, finish adds a noble touch to this great Saint-Véran.
Vinification and ageing: 18 to 22 months, in barrels for 11 months and then in stainless steel vats for 11 months with little or no filtration when bottled.
