About This Wine
Out of dozens of contenders in our blind tasting session, the 2024 Saint‑Véran from Nadine Ferrand stopped the room in its tracks—its purity, minerality, and harmony made it the standout performer in its price category. Grown on sun-kissed, limestone-rich slopes, the wine captures the Mâconnais terroir with radiant clarity and subtle power. The winemaking is deliberately restrained—vinified in stainless steel and neutral vats, fermented with wild yeasts, and bottled to showcase the fruit and mineral signature without unnecessary embellishment. On the nose, you’re greeted by fresh white pear, zesty lemon, and a whisper of pineapple—all framed by a touch of creamy texture. The palate balances silky elegance with vibrant acidity and a lingering, limestone-driven finish that feels both refined and unexpectedly generous for its price. In short, this Saint-Véran is the kind of wine that surprises—and then delights—long after the first sip.
About Domaine Nadine Ferrand
Every once in a while, you come across a domaine that simply takes your breath away. Out of a tasting of more than twenty producers in the Mâconnais, one estate rose effortlessly to the top: Domaine Nadine Ferrand. The wines showed everything we look for in great Burgundy Chardonnay — elegance, purity, depth, and an irresistible energy. Quite simply, they were the best of the day. Nadine Ferrand has been shaping this family domaine since 1984, bringing courage, vision, and meticulous care to every vine and every bottle. Today, with 11.5 hectares spread across Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon Solutré-Pouilly, and Mâcon-Villages, she has established the estate as a true jewel of the Mâconnais. In 2012, her daughter Marine joined her, infusing fresh international perspective while staying true to their philosophy of “vin au féminin” — wines crafted with finesse, balance, and complexity. Exclusively devoted to Chardonnay, the domaine’s vineyards thrive on limestone and clay soils, producing wines that shimmer with freshness and minerality, yet carry the roundness and charm that make Burgundy so captivating. Whether it’s the vibrant Mâcon Blanc, the refined Saint-Véran, or the showstopping Pouilly-Fuissé, every bottle reflects the perfect blend of tradition, innovation, and heartfelt passion. With a limited production of just 70,000 bottles a year with only a few thousands for the 1er Crus, Domaine Nadine Ferrand is a rare find. Exported to over ten countries but still deeply rooted in family heritage, this mother-daughter duo continues to set the standard for Chardonnay in the region. Once you’ve tasted their wines, you’ll understand why we couldn’t resist sharing them with you.
