RVF

Planted in 1938, the old Chardonnay vines of Clos du Château benefit from one of the best terroirs on the Pontecys estate. This south-facing plot produces a very expressive wine with a distinctive density. The attack on the palate is rich and complex. Notes of brioche and vanilla mingle with fruity and floral aromas. A dense and ripe Saint-Véran!

Rated estate (2019 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This estate, located in the heart of Davayé's finest terroirs, is owned by the Mâcon Davayé wine school. It has been courageously run as an organic farm for several years, with no less than 16 hectares, mainly in the Saint-Véran appellation. The winemaking approach here has a significant impact on the style of the wines, with very stripped-down juices undergoing prolonged fermentation at low temperatures. The result is a modern and seductive profile. It is worth noting that there is a rare and more original production of reds that we were unable to taste, and, as an anecdote, some highly esteemed goat's cheeses!
