    In a few words ...

    This vineyard is located in southern Burgundy, in the Mâconnais region. It extends around Pouilly-Fuissé. Its southern part touches the Beaujolais region. The vineyards are planted on limestone rock. This wine's particularity lies in the alliance between Burgundy's clay-limestone soils, perfectly suited to the finesse of the Chardonnay grape, and a semi-continental climate generous with sunshine, giving it richness and character.

    Taste

    A dry and round wine, often mineral (flint, fire), lively. The acidity and the fat are then complemented by going crescendo: a harmonious and fresh, round and vinous structure.

    A truly excellent Saint Véran, clearly recognizing the work of Maison Bichot, and we can't be disappointed. Expressive nose, with hints of acidity. We just love it!
