Description of Saint-Véran "En Crèche"

Estate

The Olivier Merlin estate is renowned for its expertise in the Mâconnais region, producing elegant white wines that express the local terroir. This wine perfectly illustrates the winemaker's skill in crafting quality Chardonnays.

Vineyard

Located in the Mâconnais area, the vineyard benefits from a temperate climate and clay-limestone soils ideal for Chardonnay. This setting bestows freshness and finesse to the wine.

The Saint-Véran Olivier Merlin 2020 is a Chardonnay white wine characterized by balance and aromatic complexity. Rated 90 by La Revue du Vin de France, it expresses fine varietal character and respect for its terroir.

Vintage

The 2020 vintage was marked by favorable weather conditions allowing optimal grape ripening and concentrated aromas, resulting in a structured wine with good acidity.

Vinification & Aging
