Domaine de la Pierre des Dames Saint-Veran 2023

This pale yellow Saint-Véran offers an expressive nose brimming with luscious tropical fruit aromas. On the palate, it is dense yet maintains a delightful freshness, culminating in a vibrant finish with lovely notes of grapefruit. 

The estate grown Chardonnay grapes are machine harvested from vineyards in the Saint-Véran AOC. Vincent Nectoux, who is the winemaker and manages the estate, is the current president of the Saint-Véran Cru, so should know a thing or two about making the region's eponymous wine. Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel, using selected yeasts. This is followed by seven months of ageing on the lees in 20% used oak casks and 80% stainless steel tank, before fining and filtration.
