Domaine Botti Carmante Saint-Veran 2019

Domaine Botti Carmante Saint-Veran 2019

Full-bodied white wine with creamy, dried apricot and
pineapple flavours combined with a hint of ginger.
Producer Note
The Botti family has owned the 20 hectare vineyard for more than 80 years. The
vineyard is situated in the southerly part of the Mâconnais in the heart of the Lamartine
area. St Véran is produced entirely from Chardonnay grapes and the vines are planted
in clay and chalky soils and have a south easterly exposure.
Vineyard
Saint-Veran is an appellation for dry white wines produced in the southern half of the
Mâconnais subregion of Burgundy. Due to its southerly location, the climate in the SaintVeran area is slightly warmer than other parts of Burgundy. Consequently spring frosts,
which can threaten vines in cooler Burgundy appellations, are less of a danger here.
The Domaine Botti vineyard soils are made up of limestone in which the Chardonnay
grapes flourish and produce an elegant style of wine.
Winemaking
The grapes were carefully selected, destemmed and then pneumatically pressed.
Fermentation took place in temperature controlled tanks at 18°C in order to preserve
the primary aromas. The wine was kept in stainless steel tanks to maintain the purity of
fruit.
Tasting Note
A delicate wine with fresh citrus nose and a distinctive minerality. The creamy palate is
harmoniously balanced and echoes the mineral notes from the nose, combined with
ripe citrus fruits and a crisp, clean finish.
