The vines used for Saint-Véran ‘A la Côte’ are among some of the highest-lying in the appellation. At their highest point of 500 metres, they benefit from rich clay-limestone soils and an ideal south-facing exposure, creating a naturally full-bodied, delicious-drinking wine.
Although traditional vinification is usually carried out in vat, Denis and Maxime Dutron decided to use 30% oak barrels for their 2020 vintage. This has helped enhance the characteristics of the terroir creating a wine full of promise and complexity.
