    Description Saint-Véran "La Côte-Rotie"

    Estate

    The Olivier Merlin estate is renowned for its meticulous and respectful approach to the terroir in the Mâconnais. This family property produces expressive and elegant wines that faithfully reflect the character of their vineyards.

    Vineyard

    Located in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy, the vineyard benefits from a temperate climate and limestone-clay soils, ideal for Chardonnay. The Saint-Véran terroir is known for producing balanced and mineral white wines.

    Wine

    This Olivier Merlin Saint-Véran 2020 expresses the finesse and purity typical of Mâconnais Chardonnay, with fresh acidity and harmonious balance. It earned a 92 rating from La Revue des Vins de France, highlighting its remarkable quality.

    Vintage

    The 2020 vintage was marked by good grape maturity thanks to a warm, dry summer, enhancing aromatic concentration. Harvesting was done at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness.

    Vinification & Aging

    Vinification is traditional, with fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic purity. Aging occurs in tanks to maintain freshness and liveliness.

    Grape Variety

    100% Chardonnay

    Characteristics & Tasting
