    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.

    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

    The vinification is carefully managed to preserve freshness and fruity aromas. Aging in stainless steel tanks maintains the purity of the fruit while providing a pleasant roundness.

    Grape Variety

    100% Chardonnay

    Characteristics & Tasting
