The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Saint-Véran is a wine appellation located in the southern part of Burgundy, France. The appellation is known for producing high-quality white wines made from the Chardonnay grape variety. The history of Saint-Véran dates back to the 17th century when the vineyards were first planted by the monks of the Abbey of Cluny. The appellation was officially recognized in 1971 and covers an area of approximately 700 hectares.

The style of production in Saint-Véran is heavily influenced by the terroir of the region. The vineyards are located on the slopes of the hillsides, which provide excellent drainage and exposure to the sun. The soils are composed of limestone and clay, which give the wines their characteristic minerality and complexity. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a gentle pressing before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wines are then aged in oak barrels for a period of 6 to 12 months, depending on the vintage.

The wines of Saint-Véran are known for their elegance, finesse, and balance. They have a pale golden color and aromas of citrus, white flowers, and honey. On the palate, the wines are crisp and refreshing with flavors of lemon, green apple, and a hint of vanilla. The acidity is well-balanced, and the finish is long and lingering.

Saint-Véran is a great choice for those who enjoy white Burgundy wines but are looking for a more affordable option. The wines of Saint-Véran are often compared to those of the neighboring Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, but they are generally less expensive. They are also a great choice for those who enjoy seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes.

In conclusion, Saint-Véran is a wine appellation that produces high-quality white wines that are elegant, refreshing, and well-balanced. The wines are made from the Chardonnay grape variety and are heavily influenced by the terroir of the region. They are a great choice for those who enjoy white Burgundy wines but are looking for a more affordable option.
