WINE DESCRIPTION
Joseph Drouhin Saint-Véran is a white wine produced by the renowned Burgundy producer Joseph Drouhin. The wine comes from the Saint-Véran appellation, which is known for its limestone-rich soils and ideal climate for Chardonnay grapes. The vineyards are located on gentle slopes, which allows for optimal sun exposure and drainage. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and fruitiness. The resulting wine is elegant and balanced, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle minerality. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Joseph Drouhin Saint-Véran is a delightful white Burgundy from the Mâconnais region.It is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes and has a pale yellow color with green reflections. On the nose, it has a delicate aroma of white flowers, apples and a hint of citrus. On the palate, it is light-bodied and has a lovely balance of roundness and freshness. The flavor is that of ripe apples, juicy peaches and hazelnuts, all supported by a crisp acidity and a pleasant mineral finish. This is a great summer wine and pairs well with salads, fish and white meat.
