This vineyard's fantastic position up high and facing south east, as well as its rock-laden soil really show the class of this site in warm vintages. The vines here are now 37 years old and the 2018 is a total triumph. F...(read more)

2018 SAINT VÉRAN Prélude Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau
Mâconnais Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
Poor, calcareous soils. 15% new wood in demi-muids (500l barrels). 45 year old vines in several plots - the earliest ripening. Ripe pear nose, quite fat and gathering juicy citrus makes it dance - lots of flavour.

2018 SAINT VÉRAN Les Pommards Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France White
Chardonnay.
From vines between 20-55 years old. More savoury than the 'En Crèches' - and a slightly fuller, riper fruit core holds sway. This weight and richness is surprising on the face of it as the cote the vines are on fa...(read more)

2018 SAINT VÉRAN La Fournaise Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau
Mâconnais Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay. Practicing Organic, Vegan, Vegetarian
All aged in demi-muids with no new wood. The whitest and most mineral soil they have. Spicy and super-dry and bright. Firm and all in bracing brightness and minerality. 'A reductive and Chablis-like character' says Frant...(read more)

2018 SAINT VÉRAN A la Côte Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau
Mâconnais Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay. Practicing Organic, Vegan, Vegetarian
The highest vineyard of the domaine at 400m, on red earth, in Chasselas. Aged in demi-muids with no new wood. Deep gold, more massive in the mouth, round and rather joyously gourmand, still super-lively.

2018 POUILLY FUISSÉ Vieilles Vignes La Verchère Domaine Daniel Barraud
Mâconnais Burgundy France White
Chardonnay.
Again a deliciously bright attack - but this has an imposing sense of weight and power in the shadows. Builds nicely - sleekly into quite a big broad polished weight. Gorgeous fruit. Firm white and yellow flesh. Sweet pe...(read more)
