The Château Vitallis wines

Saint-Véran

2009 - 2010
Wine of a shiny, very light yellow, crystalline, pale golden colour and a subtle bouquet of fruits (such as peach and pear), acacia, honeysuckle, fern. It also reminds of fresh almonds, hazelnut, cinnamon, butter or even honey.

The Saint Véran wine sometimes reminds of exotic as well as citrus fruits (with aroma of orange peel). On the palate, a dry, well-rounded and often mineral (with the minerals present in the soil such as flint) wine which is rather intense from the start. By becoming even greater both the wine acidity and its smoothness are then combined. This gives the wine its harmonious, sweet ans full-bodied structure.

Tips from a wine waiter

Thanks to its strong and full-bodied texture and thanks to its aromas of citrus fruits, this wine can successfully be associated with dishes which will make it a little smoother. It will go especially well with poached or grilled fish. With a subtle bouquet of flowers and the minerals present in the soil, it will successfully be associated with the fish iodine and delicate texture.

Thanks to its sharp and slightly lemony aroma, it will go well with the mellowness of such dishes as seafood or mushroom risottos.

The Saint Véran wine goes well with cheese such as goat cheese, Bresse blue cheese, “Comté” or “Gruyère”.
