Jean-Claude Boisset Saint Veran AC

Jean-Claude Boisset Saint Veran AC from France, Burgundy, Maconnais by Jean-Claude Boisset Rich Dry Whites (12 x 75 cl)

100% Pinot Noir that has spent between 16 (12 x 75 cl)

This wine is produced from selected old Pinot Noir vines with highly precise characteristics. During the growing season, restricted yields are produced through drastic debudding and cluster thinning if necessary; while the soil has little or no fertiliser, and vine protection techniques are adopted that are friendly to the environment and other plant life. This has produced a dark, sparkling ruby coloured wine with a very expressive nose showing blackcurrant and dark berries. In the mouth it is solid and intense, with structure against a very clean, fruity background. (6 x 75 cl)

A very deep and brilliant red coloured wine it is showing elegant black fruits on the nose. Moncentrated and round in the mouth this well made red combines elegance with high quality. The grapes are harvested in small ventilated cases, and then carefully sorted on a table by 10 people. Next they are de-stemmed 100%, but not crushed , and put into vats using gravity. The maceration lasts about 3 weeks with more-or-less frequent cap punching 'by foot'. No oenological products such as yeasts, enzymes or tannins are added, to ensure respect for such a precious terroir. Next, the wine is matured for 16 to 18 months in wood, with a fairly low proportion of new oak , finally, before being put into bottle it undergoes a very light filtration. (12 x 75 cl)

100% Chardonnay showing a sparkling, straw-yellow colour and very refined nose that is fresh, with notes of flowers and white fruits. In the mouth it is very dense while lemony characteristics are to the fore, supported by good acidity through to the finish. The grapes are harvested when ripe and collected in small ventilated crates and once in the winery 50% of the wine is barrel-aged with regular stirring of the lees, while the two fermentations – alcoholic and malolactic – take place. The other half of the wine is vat-aged, to retain the natural freshness of Macon wines. This process takes place over a 12 month period, with very light filtration prior to bottling to ensure that nothing is taken away from the wine’s intrinsic qualities. Available in 37.5 cl Half Bottles. (12 x 37.5 cl)
