A preference for Chardonnay

It is not by chance that Chardonnay has been the only grape-variety planted and grown in the Saint Véran appellation zone since time immemorial. Chardonnay is called after an old Gallic village of the Mâconnais region, CARDONACUM, which means "a place full of thistles". Our vinegrowers’ ancestors had discovered that Chardonnay thrives in such soils.
That is why the Cru Saint Véran is the fruit of one of the best noble varieties of France, whose favorite terroir is naturally Burgundy.
