Description
In a nutshell:
A lovely organic, southern Mâconnais white, all fresh and minerally, nicely concentrated and intensely flavoured.
The lowdown:
A proper example of what Saint-Véran does best - crisp, fruity Chardonnay from the limestone-rich soils of the Mâconnais. Grown in 40 small parcels around Davayé, these vines, averaging 45 years old, give the wine a lovely complexity. It's mostly vinified in stainless steel, keeping things fresh and bright, but there's just a hint of oak in there, adding a subtle layer of vanilla. Expect aromas of citrus and stone fruits, with peach and nectarine flavours nicely balanced by a lively acidity and impressive minerality. The finish is long, clean, and rather moreish.
The Producer:
Based just outside the village of Davayé, brothers Richard and Stéphane Martin took over Domaine de la Croix Senaillet from their father in the early 1990s. What was a 6.5 hectare domaine has now grown to some 25 hectares, spread over 52 individual parcels - nearly all surrounding their modern winery in the commune of Davayé. Since 2006, they have been totally organic and are now certified as such. A hallmark of their wines is that they're gorgeously, crisp, fresh, pure, crystalline, minerally, concentrated and intensely flavoured, and are a true reflection of the high quality Chardonnay that can be produced from the Mâconnais.
When to drink:
Seafood and white fish pair wonderfully with this, as the crisp acidity, subtle minerality, and light citrus notes enhance their delicate flavours and textures.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
