St-Véran, Christophe Thibert 2019

Domaine Christophe Thibert, Mâconnais

The story of Domaine Thibert reads like a veritable saga. This family of artisan winemakers has been living at the heart of Fuissé village since at least 1668.Both from a long line of winemakers, Andrée and René Thibert started with a tiny plot in 1967. In 1991, their son Christophe came back to the Domaine, and his sister Sandrine joined him in managing the Domaine in 1999. Leveraging their deep-seated knowledge of the region’s vineyards, the inter-generational knowledge and their experience, today the wines of Domaine Thibert reflect and express this “savoir-faire”.

A blend from different terroirs, mainly composed of streaked Triassic clays (calcisols, variegated magnesium clays and shallow limestone) with interlocking limestone (Bajocian period).

30% in barrels and 70% in stainless steel vats for 9 to 11 months, with no filtering when bottled.

Selection from different terroirs gives this Saint-Véran a certain degree of complexity, varying from charming fruitiness to nuttiness, resulting in an astonishing finesse. The palate is rich, elegant and harmonious.

Grape: 100% Chardonnay
