2024 Simon Faure, Saint-Véran

Burgundy, France | 100% Chardonnay Aged for one year in seasoned oak barrels, Simon Faure's Saint-Véran is sourced from Chardonnay grapes grown on clay-limestone soils. This is a pure expression of both the terroir of the region and Faure's winemaking philosophy. On the nose the wine is beautifully lifted; revealing aromas of ripe pear, acacia blossom and wet chalk. The palate is delicate yet quietly concentrated, with a vibrant freshness that carries through to a gently evolving texture. A pronounced saline minerality brings precision and energy, leading to a long, elegant finish. Lively, luminous and effortlessly reassuring, this is a Chardonnay of purity, balance and finesse.
