Description
Located in the southern tip of Maconnais, in a peaceful hilly landscape, the Saint-Veran appellation circles the Pouilly-Fuisse vineyards, dominated by the Roche de Solutre. The hillsides' Eastern exposure protects the vines from a West wind and offers plenty of sunshine to the vineyard for a fruity, ripe and well-balanced wine. The soil is made up of limestone covered by thin layers of clay, perfect for Chardonnay grape. The village of Saint Verand takes its name from the Bishop Saint-Veran of Cavaillon who served on the Council of Macon.

Vinification
In stainless steel tanks for 8-10 months with control of temperatures. 100% malolactic fermentation with no oak influence.
