TRIBOULET
Saint Veran

This appellation was created in 1971 and represents about one-tenth of the vineyards of Maçon. It is produced in six communes of about 500 hectares located on hillsides that are fortunately exposed South-Southeast and Southwest. Domaine du Val Lamartinen is located in Prissé in the south of Burgundy in the heart of the Maçon area, 7km (about 5 miles) west of Maçon.

Today the vineyards and cellars are owned and operated by Alain and Hubert Triboulet, the fourth generation of this family owned business which began in 1932. They have 18 hectares of vines (44½ acres); 15 of these hectares (37 acres) are Saint-Véran.

Saint-Véran characterizes itself in its youth with its fine delicate aromas that are both elegant and floral. When young it is much sought after for its white fruit aromas such as peach and pear which gradually evolve between acacia flowers and honeysuckle and draw near to filberts and toasted almonds as it gets older. Its many traits express the sumptuousness of the terroir.

Saint-Véran goes well with the simplest menu as well as more elaborate dishes such as white meats, chicken in cream sauces, fish, and goat cheese; also pairs well with desserts such as fruit tarts and puddings. This wine can be consumed young but can also be aged from 5-10 years, depending on the vintage. Serve chilled.
