WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Saint-Véran lies between the escarpments of Solutré and Vergisson (from which the Domaine des Deux Roches takes its name), on the southernmost slopes of a of a 250 km long and 5-6 km wide prehistoric limestone ridge that runs through the valleys carved out by the river Soâne. Its vineyards are among the few in Burgundy with a southerly aspect, which exposes the vines to maximum sunlight and warmth, as well as winds that help to moderate their temperature and stimulate photosynthesis. This allows Chardonnay to develop physiological ripeness quickly, under stress, in a precarious continental climate.
