| In Burgundy, it is
not unusual for an appellation to be named after a village
of the region, but it is worth noting the
spelling difference between one village of the appellation
-Saint Vérand- and
the name of the appellation - Saint Véran.
The appellation takes the name of a famous Holy man associated
with local history and geography, the 6th century Bishop
of Cavaillon for the Mâcon Council gave his name to
the village of Saint-Véran,
which later became Saint-Véran
des Vignes, then Saint-Vérand.
The appellation links local history and geography.
