Saint-Véran

The Saint-Véran Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC), established in 1971 in the Mâconnais region of Saône-et-Loire, covers Chânes, Chasselas, Davayé, Leynes, Prissé, Saint-Vérand and Solutré-Pouilly. Saint-Véran wines may include the name of their climate of origin, a common practice in Burgundy. The Saint-Véran vineyard, spread over 680 hectares between two zones separated by the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, benefits from Jurassic limestone terroir with varied exposure: south, west, east. Saint-Véran white wines, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, are characterized by their dry, rounded character, pronounced minerality and fruity, floral aromas. Estates such as Chanson Père et Fils, Guffens-Heynen and Maison Verget are eminent examples. Saint-Véran white wine, grown in the southern Mâconnais region, offers a dry, round texture and fruity, floral nuances, perfect for accompanying a wide variety of dishes, from fish to strong cheeses.
