Technical Details
Description
Situated in the very South of the Maconnais, the Saint-Veran vineyards form a gilded belt around Pouilly-Fuisse. The two are similar in terms of relief and production techniques, even in their actual taste and fragrance. The area's Jurassic chalk soil and the vineyard's ideal exposure
combine perfectly to produce top quality fruit. Saint-Veran << Les Deux Moulins >> takes its name from the two watermills that straddle La Petite Grosne river. The rain that falls on the vineyards, filters through the calcareous bedrock to help feed the river as it flows away west
towards the famous monastic town of Cluny. Once harvested, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel in order to preserve the freshness of the fruit. A slow, cool fermentation allows the wine to maintain its rich and concentrated flavours.
Food pairing
Shrimp and mange-tout peas risotto - Bleu de Bresse cheese - Beaufort cheese
Tasting notes
Of a pale yellow colour, the Saint-Veran 2015 reveals a delicious nose of
white fruits, vanilla and quince. In the mouth it is round and ample with a vanilla finish and a
great lenght.
