Domaine Dutron & Fils Saint-Véran ‘A la Côte’

Domaine Dutron has been crafting wine in the picturesque town of Fuissé since 1835, where the family estate spans 16 hectares of Chardonnay vineyards. Passed down through generations, Maxime Dutron now oversees the vineyards, continuing the family’s legacy while embracing sustainable farming.

The vines used for Saint-Véran ‘A la Côte’ are among some of the highest-lying in the appellation. At their highest point of 500 metres, they benefit from rich clay-limestone soils and an ideal south-facing exposure, creating a naturally full-bodied, delicious-drinking wine.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 13%

APPEARANCE
Bright, pale gold.

NOSE
On the nose, it is very lightly spiced, with some candied fruit notes against a mineral backdrop.

PALATE
The attack is crisp but gives way to a very smooth mid-palate with hints of lemon and fresh hazelnuts. The finish is crisp and long.

AGEING
Although traditional vinification is usually carried out in vat, Denis & Maxime Dutron decided to use 30% oak barrels, to enhance the characteristics of the terroir creating a wine full of promise and complexity.

PAIRING
This Saint-Véran is perfect served with fish, seafood or even strong cheeses such as Beaufort, Comté or Bleu de Bresse.
