Domaine des 3 Dames Saint-Véran Les Cornillaux

Saint-Véran Les Cornillaux reveals a light smokiness on the nose, then exhales delicate floral notes of acacia and fern, with an evolution on ripe fruit. Clear ripe tones of white and ripe fruit, vanilla due to the wood aging and a rich full taste.

This wine comes from one of the most beautiful plots in the Saint-Véran appellation called Les Cornillaux, located at the entrance of the village of Leynes. Loamy and calcareous limestone soils are characteristic of the appellation.

Vinification

This wine was aged on the lees for 18 months then re-mashed before bottling, no fining (suitable for vegans) and very light filtration before bottling (may have a slight tarnish). The barrels used are high quality barrels, the wood has dried for 36 months (versus 24 months on average), the heating is very slow and gentle to support the wine and not to make up for it. Fermentation took place in oak barrels using indigenous yeasts (100% oak barrels, of which about 50% are new barrels). Age of the vines: Average 55 years.

Wine - Food pairing

This wine is delicious with freshwater fish, crustaceans, pâtés and terrines and snails.
