Domaine Duvert, Saint Veran 2025

£31.00

Sourced from two parcels at an average of 280 metre from a amphitheatre shape area. Together, they bring both ripeness and tension to the wine.

Planted on predominantly clay-limestone soils, with a stronger calcareous influence from the higher-altitude parcel, the wine is vinified and aged for 8 months on fine lees in stainless steel. The nose is refined and quietly expressive, with notes of fresh citrus, crisp orchard fruit and a subtle floral lift. On the palate, it is precise and mineral, with a clear saline edge and a calcareous grip that gives structure and length. A wine that leans toward finesse and clarity—delicious, pure, and distinctly shaped by its terroir.

This eponymous estate was founded by Anne-Sophie and David Duvert in 2023. However, the journey began decades before, in 2003, when they first began planting vines and slowly building their vision. With their own domain in their future dreams, they began by selling grapes to the local co-op, eventually affording to build their own cave, and begin their conversion to organic viticulture – achieving certification in 2018. They are now the proud owners of 23 hectares across the Mâconnais, producing only whites and celebrating the first vinification in their own cellar in 2023!

2025 saw the Duvert estate increase from 20 to 23 hectares, and the couple working across Bourgogne Aligoté, Mâcon-Villages, Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé. The undulating hills of southern Burgundy are home to a mixture of clay and limestone soils, which along with their winemaking techniques, have aided in crafting concentrated and luscious styles of wine. It is also good to note that they have begun experimenting with biodynamic practices also.

In the cellar, they work with steel tanks for fermentation, before moving wines into a mixture of steel, fûts, demi-muids and concrete eggs for ageing. They work with long, gentle pressings in a pneumatic press and allow the wines to go through a natural fermentation, as well as malolactic fermentation. Ageing is done on the fine lees.
