Joseph Drouhin 2020 Saint-Véran
French White
Slow pressing excludes juice from the final pressings, and fermentation uses neither artificial yeasts nor enzymes. Ageing takes place in stainless-steel vats for six to eight months. Golden colour and green reflections accompany ripe Chardonnay, musk, white flowers and peach, with a round palate and refreshing character. The vineyards occupy Jurassic limestone at Burgundy's southern end, just north of Beaujolais.
Coquard 2020 Saint-Veran
French White
Fragrant orchard blossom and juicy white peach lead, followed by fresh citrus and a rounded mineral note. The palate is elegant and bright, with enough softness to feel generous and a subtle almond nuance on the finish. Serve lightly chilled with fresh seafood, roast chicken, creamy risotto, soft cheeses or simply prepared vegetables; the balance is polished and quietly expressive.
