"A new vintage for this complex organic Saint-Véran—as delicious as ever!"
Intense, the nose of this Saint-Véran offers aromas of stone fruits, with notes of Williams pear, peach, and lemon zest. On the palate, it opens with a lovely freshness, featuring rich fruit flavors of pear, quince, and nectarine, leading to a lively, mineral finish with buttery notes. The perfect wine to open and enjoy with friends!

Rated estate (2019 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
This vineyard, located in the heart of Davayé’s finest terroirs, is owned by the Mâcon Davayé Wine 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 style of the wines, with very unadorned musts that undergo prolonged fermentation at low temperatures. The result is a modern and alluring profile. Of note is a rare and more original selection of reds that we were unable to taste—and, as a side note, 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.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100 (2023 vintage)
About the wine:
Both fresh and mineral, yet well-balanced and full-bodied on the palate, this wine is a great introduction to the more ambitious wines now being produced in this long-underrated appellation. An interesting hint of chalky tannins adds extra depth to the finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Ready to drink now or for aging.
