Serving Suggestion
Serve Saint-Véran chilled at approximately 11–13°C. It can be enjoyed young for its fresh fruit character or kept for approximately 3–5 years, depending on the vintage and storage conditions.
Saint-Véran is located in southern Burgundy, in the Mâconnais. The vineyards lie around Pouilly-Fuissé, with soils that can include grey marls, limestone marls and flinty clay, depending on the slope.
These conditions help create Chardonnay wines with ripe fruit character, freshness and a distinctive mineral balance.
