Winemaker Notes

Saint-Veran can show some of the same apple, lemon, and brioche flavors found in Pouilly-Fuisse, although it tends to be less full-bodied. This Saint-Véran shows floral aromas and a touch of "pierre a fusil," the mineral quality that typifies many white Burgundies.

White Burgundy, with its richness, texture, and toasted flavors pairs well with light fish and shellfish and can counterbalance cream-based sauces. Oak-aged Chardonnay lends itself well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts.

COMMENTARY: Saint-Véran often over-delivers and is one of Burgundy's best values. Indeed, the 2016 Château de Beauregard exemplifies plenty of rewards for the $$$s. TASTING NOTES: This wine is crisp, but not biting, and lasts nicely in the finish. Its aromas and flavors of peach skin and dried earth are rewarding and should pair well with a simple, rustic roast chicken. (Tasted: March 1, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

The Burriers have been a prominent winegrowing family in southern Burgundy since the 15th Century and have owned the Chateau de Beauregard in Pouilly-Fuissé for six generations. Frédéric-Marc Burrier is the current family member in charge of the chateau, as well as running a small négociant business under the name of his grandfather, Joseph Burrier. As the occasional president of the local winegrower’s association, Frédéric has been one of the leading advocates for classifying the Pouilly-Fuissé region’s best climats as premier crus. Frédéric has been focused on identifying the best single-vineyard sites since the mid-1990s and more than a dozen different Pouilly-Fuissés are produced today, along with wines from Macon, St-Véran, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent.

St-Véran Wine

Maconnais, Burgundy

View all products

Occupying vineyards to the west and south of the village of Mâcon, the appellation of St-Véran interweaves with Pouilly-Fuissé, overlapping both the Mâconnais and Beaujolais. St-Véran includes a lot of what was once sold as Beaujolais Blanc. Grown on limestone, St-Véran whites' ageability and power fall somewhere in between the wines of Mâcon-Villages and Pouilly-Fuissé.

After subtle aromas of lemon, apricot, acacia and honeysuckle, on the palate a St-Véran (always made of Chardonnay) shows fresh focus and clarity while exhibiting roundness and harmonious balance. A great St-Véran will express notes of almond, hazelnut, cinnamon, butter or toast and sometimes an exotic twist of orange peel. Seafood risotto or pasta with mushrooms are perfect pairings.

Chardonnay Wine

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
