Description
Nicolas Delfaud’s Saint-Véran La Boisserolle is undoubtedly the most taut wine of the vintage. Minerality permeates the wine from start to finish. Sourced from a plot on the hills above Prissé, the Chardonnay here offers its traditional notes of white flowers and fresh butter. The palate, full-bodied and long, displays a very assured balance and unfolds with an exceptional finish. A beautiful wine of terroir and character, fruity and indulgent.

The Nicolas Delfaud
estate was established in autumn 2015 when he took on a 4-hectare vineyard lease in Saône-et-Loire, within the Mâcon-Verzé appellation. After working as a sommelier in Paris, he decided in 2009 to settle in the Mâconnais region to study for a BTS in viticulture and oenology at the CFPPA in Mâcon Davayé. From 2010 to 2017, he joined Château des Rontets (an organic estate in Fuissé) as a farm worker whilst beginning to establish his own estate. He then undertook the conversion of all his plots to organic farming. Verzé proved to be an excellent terroir, judging by tastings of his first vintages. Particular mention should be made of the excellent value for money offered by the wines from this young estate.
