Wine:

The 2022 White Saint-Véran offers a perfect blend of freshness and charm. The aging process enhances the wine without overshadowing its natural qualities, creating a lively and energetic profile with a rich texture that closely resembles a Pouilly-Fuissé. The balance between tension and roundness is expertly achieved, featuring perfectly ripe fruit and a radiant floral note. This Chardonnay showcases a refined tension, with just the right maturity to add depth and vitality, without any excess. It’s an elegant wine, ideal for starting a meal, pairing wonderfully with dry cheeses or seafood.
