Saint-Véran 2019 – Domaine Ferrand

The grapes to produce Saint-Véran Domaine Ferrand were harvested by hand and carefully sorted. Traditional vinification followed: the grapes were pneumatically pressed and fermented with wild yeast in stainless steel vats at low temperatures. Saint-Véran Domaine Ferrand was made in an unoaked style to express the terroir and purity of fruit. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was racked, blended and bottled in order to retain the fresh style.

Saint Véran is an appellation for dry white wines made from Chardonnay, which is situated in southern half of the Mâconnais subregion of Burgundy. The Domaine Ferrand vineyard is situated in the village of Solutré Pouilly, on eastern and south eastern facing sunny slopes at an altitude of 250 to 300 metres above sea level. The vines have an average age of 50 years, with deep root systems penetrating the layers of soil, imparting complexity to the resulting wine. The soils are clay and chalk from the Jurassic period.
