Region: Pierreclos, Saint-Véran, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France (Saint-Véran AOC)
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Body: Medium
Notes: Generous and precise. Ripe pear, white peach, toasted hazelnut, lemon cream, and a long, mineral, lightly oaky finish with real Mâconnais depth. Old-vine Chardonnay that earns its price.
Pairing: Roasted chicken, grilled fish, cream-based pasta, aged goat cheese, or anything that calls for a serious white Burgundy without the Meursault price tag.
Thevenet & Fils Saint-Véran "Clos de L'Ermitage — Saint Claude" Vieilles Vignes is produced at the family estate in Pierreclos in the heart of the Mâconnais, imported by Rosenthal Wine Merchant (RWM). The "Clos de L'Ermitage — Saint Claude" is a single-vineyard, old-vine Chardonnay from one of the estate's most prized parcels — a clos (enclosed vineyard) with deep roots in the limestone-rich soils of the Saint-Véran appellation, the southernmost white Burgundy AOC. Thevenet & Fils is a multi-generational family domaine described by visitors as excellent value with a warm welcome, and this Vieilles Vignes bottling represents the top of their range: concentrated, structured, and built for the table with the kind of depth that only old vines can deliver. At $16/bottle from the distributor, one of the best white Burgundy values in the portfolio.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
