Saint Véran “Au Brûlé” – Powerful and Refined Wine

The Saint Véran “Au Brûlé” is produced on a 0.80-hectare plot in Leynes. Due to its high altitude within the appellation, this wine has a powerful structure with mineral and floral notes. Aging takes place in 5- to 8-year-old oak barrels on fine lees, with weekly bâtonnage. After a maturation period of 12 months, the wine is bottled in September.

Region

Saint-Véran and the Mâconnais – Chardonnay from Southern Burgundy

Saint-Véran is an appellation in the Mâconnais, the southernmost part of Burgundy. This wine region is located just north of Beaujolais and borders the renowned Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. Officially recognized as an AOC in 1971, Saint-Véran exclusively produces white wines made from Chardonnay.

Location and Terroir

The vineyards of Saint-Véran cover approximately 740 hectares and are spread across six communes: Chasselas, Chânes, Davayé, Leynes, Prissé, and Saint-Vérand. The region is divided into two separate areas, split by Pouilly-Fuissé.

The soils consist mainly of limestone-rich clay, interspersed with marl and sandstone, contributing to a mineral-driven style. The vineyards are situated at altitudes between 200 and 400 meters, enhancing the wines’ freshness and aromatic intensity.

Climate and Wine Style

The climate in the Mâconnais is moderately continental with Mediterranean influences, allowing the grapes to ripen well and develop a full-bodied character. Saint-Véran wines are known for:

Freshness and minerality due to the limestone-rich soils

Aromas of citrus, white flowers, peach, and pear

Occasionally subtle oak notes when aged in barrels

Vinification and Aging

Producers in Saint-Véran use both stainless steel and oak barrels, depending on the desired style. Young wines are fresh and fruit-driven, while barrel-aged versions develop more complex aromas of vanilla and butter.

Comparison with Other Mâconnais Wines

Pouilly-Fuissé – Richer and often oak-aged, with greater depth and complexity.

Mâcon-Villages – More accessible, simpler, and fruitier, without Saint-Véran’s mineral character.

Viré-Clessé – Elegant and refined, sometimes with subtle honeyed notes.

Serve the wine at 10-12°C to fully appreciate its freshness and aromatic expression.

Saint-Véran offers excellent value for money within Burgundy and is an attractive alternative to the region’s more expensive white wines.
