From old vines planted facing due south in Davayé, this 2021 Saint-Véran "Au Clos" is a characterful cuvée from Domaine Saint-Martin, in a long-standing partnership with Georges Duboeuf. The average age of the vines, around 70 years, and a perfectly exposed terroir explain the rare intensity of this Southern Burgundy Chardonnay.
Visually, its golden robe shines with a thousand reflections. On the nose, aromas of white flowers, fresh butter, and candied fruits announce a generous and complex wine. On the palate, the texture is ample and unctuous, with beautiful richness and a long, flavorful finish. Pair with fish in sauce, creamy poultry, or mushroom risotto.
France
Situated just south of Burgundy, Beaujolais is a wine-growing region with a semi-continental climate conducive to the production of fresh, fruity, brilliant red wines. Its emblematic grape variety, Gamay, expresses remarkable purity and vivacity, whether in the cuvées de soif or the deeper expressions of the crus.
The region boasts ten prestigious crus, each with its own personality: Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié and Saint-Amour. Names that resonate with fans of gourmet red wines, combining freshness, finesse and character.
Un joli chardonnay du sud de la Bourgogne, alliant rondeur et tension. Agrumes, fruits blancs, noisette fraîche, avec une finale qui claque. Très beau rapport qualité-prix.
Good value for money
From a single vineyard (‘Clos’), this wine captures Saint-Véran’s signature style: vibrant citrus and orchard fruit, subtle nutty notes, and refreshing acidity. The 2021 vintage is especially refined—bright, balanced, and full of terroir expression.
Poured this alongside a mushroom risotto and it was a perfect match. The savory finish and persistent flavors lingered beautifully. A reliable wine to keep on hand.
I loved how creamy and round this wine was without feeling heavy. The oak influence is subtle, giving just enough complexity. Great value for money considering the quality.
