Saint-Véran 2023 - "Le Clos Vessats"

This Saint-Véran combines suppleness and freshness; With a beautiful roundness, it expresses all its greediness through notes of yellow-fleshed fruit and white flowers. A real wine of pleasure.

Soil:
This wine comes from a clay-limestone terroir with a predominance of clay. Located at a low altitude, about 200m, the south-south-west facing hillside provides early maturity. The grapes are therefore still very ripe, the wines are warm, supple and delicious.


Breeding:
The vinification is carried out in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats in order to keep all the freshness and finesse of the Chardonnay. The objective is to preserve the purity of its fruit. It is then aged for 11 months before being lightly filtered before bottling.


Tasting:
This Saint-Véran is very expressive on the nose, revealing aromas of citrus and white flowers, such as acacia. On the palate, from the moment it is attacked, this wine is marked by its roundness and suppleness, the very present fruit expresses a beautiful freshness with notes of pear, peach and some aromas of fresh hazelnut. The finish will be marked by a beautiful creaminess carried by flavors of fresh butter.

Serving temperature:

10 to 12° as an aperitif, 12 to 14° at the table

Wine Characteristics

The colour is that of very pale yellow gold, brilliant and crystal-clear. The nose develops subtle fruit aromas (peach, pear) or acacia, honeysuckle and bracken, often over notes of fresh almond, hazelnut, cinnamon, butter, and sometimes honey. Exotic fruits are sometimes present, as are citrus notes (orange peel). On the palate, this white wine is dry and well-rounded, mineral (gun-flint) and lively from the first attack. Acidity and fatness come increasingly into play. The structure is harmonious, fresh and round.

Wine Steward’s Tip

Its clean, open attack and its citrussy notes call for dishes which can somewhat mitigate its ardour. An oily fish, poached or simply fried, will play this role, especially as the wine’s range of floral aromas respond splendidly to the fine salty flesh. Variations featuring seafood will also do well, as will risottos containing sea-food or mushrooms whose mellow texture will blend harmoniously with the acidity of the wine. It is also well-suited to goat cheeses, Bleu de Bresse, Comté, Beaufort, and Gruyère.
Serving temperatures: 9 to 11°C for young wines,11 to 13°C for older wines.
 

Situation

The SAINT-VÉRAN AOC, which was granted in 1971, lies in the South of the Mâconnais region, forming a belt around the appellation POUILLY-FUISSÉ.
As it is often the case in Bourgogne, the AOC embraces a number of villages from Prissé and Davayé lying to the North of the Rock of Solutré to Leynes, Chasselas, Chânes, part of Solutré-Pouilly and (of course) Saint-Vérand itself all lying to the south. The soils, ideally suited to the Chardonnay, produce only white wines.
 

Terroirs

The appellation SAINT-VÉRAN is split into two separate islands by its close relative Pouilly-Fuissé. Both occupy slopes forming part of the chain of hills to which the Rock of Solutré belongs. This rocky backbone is made of fossiliferous limestone of the Middle Jurassic. On the Western side are older (lias) rocks covered with grey marls on which the vineyards of Chasselas and Leynes occupy South and West-facing sites. The gentle Eastern slopes are composed of marly limestones on which are found the East-facing vineyards of Prissé and Davayé. At Chânes and Prissé, on the left bank of the little river Grosne, the vines grow on fossiliferous limestones, often overlain by a layer of clay-with-flints with “chailles”.

domaine

Domaine Guerrin - Vergisson

Producer of Pouilly Fuissé and Saint Véran

Fabien Guerrin joined his parents 5 years ago and is gradually taking over the estate, located on the heights of Vergisson in Southern Burgundy, in the Mâconnais wine region.

Between the rocks of Solutré and Vergisson, the Guerrin family estate is constantly looking for finesse, purity and balance in its great white wines of Burgundy. Very attached to traditional viticulture, mainly manual, and respectful of the environment.

Among the qualities in the vineyard property's management, it is worth noting that the soil is ploughed, which allows the roots to go down to depth, controlled yields and manual thinning allow the Chardonnay to be offered ideal conditions for ripeness.

Manual harvesting combined with slow and natural vinification, carried out thanks to the yeasts naturally present in the grapes, allow the soul and authenticity of the terroir of each wine to be preserved.
The wine is aged on lees in oak barrels and lasts from 11 to 12 months depending on the vintage and the typicity of the terroir.
