Saint Véran 'Canopée' 2024

The site (or climat) of this vineyard is called 'Chaud Eau' (Warm Water), named after a spring that used to stay lukewarm at the same temperature year-round. The spring is not active anymore but the plot kept its name. I love this wine because it is an oaky Chardonnay that I actually like. The oaky notes are integrated, woven into the Chardonnay's typicity. It's like make up nicely done, highlighting natural beauty. Don't miss this wine from Sophie and David. As a matter of fact, don't miss any of them if you come across it 🧨.
