Description
The Saint-Véran AOP – White 2024 from Domaine Coteaux des Margots is a wine that perfectly embodies the expression of Chardonnay in this prestigious Burgundy terroir. Coming from vines grown on clay-limestone soils that give the vines excellent drainage, it benefits from ideal conditions to produce ripe grapes while keeping fine freshness and marked minerality.
The vines, aged 20 to 40 years, are farmed according to the principles of sustainable viticulture, with particular attention to biodiversity and soil balance. Manual work is favoured at every stage of winegrowing, allowing a careful harvest and rigorous sorting of the grapes.
After hand-harvesting at full ripeness, the grapes are gently pressed to obtain a high-quality must. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in stainless-steel tanks to preserve the freshness and primary aromas of the Chardonnay. A small portion of the wine is aged in oak barrels to add an extra dimension of complexity while keeping the elegance and purity of the aromas.
The Saint-Véran 2024 shows a pale, luminous colour, a sign of its youth and vivacity. The nose is highly expressive, offering fresh aromas of white fruit such as peach and pear, with more delicate notes of citrus and white flowers, and a discreet touch of minerality recalling the limestone soil of the appellation.
On the palate, the attack is lively, marked by vibrant freshness and fine acid tension. The wine gains body on the mid-palate, revealing a round texture that is well balanced. The finish is long and pleasant, with a saline minerality that lingers and gives the wine a refined and dynamic dimension.
This Saint-Véran AOP is ideal with river fish, seafood, mixed salads or fresh cheeses such as goat’s cheese or cancoillotte. It is perfect for drinking now, but will also improve with a few years of cellaring (3 to 5 years).
