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 remarkable density. The initial taste 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 solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This vineyard, located in the heart of Davayé’s finest terroirs, is owned by the Mâcon Davayé viticultural high school. For several years now, it has been courageously managed using organic farming methods, covering no less than 16 hectares, primarily within the Saint-Véran appellation. The winemaking approach here has a significant impact on the wines’ style, with very unadorned juices that undergo prolonged fermentation at low temperatures. The result is a modern and alluring profile. Of note is a rare and more original production of red wines that we were unable to taste—and, as an aside, some highly commendable goat cheeses!

Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

The Mâcon-Davayé wine-making high school has been training winemakers from Burgundy and beyond for many generations. The adjacent vineyard (16 ha) is farmed organically, and Frédéric Servais, the cellar master, aims to produce wines that are as “natural” as possible.
