This version undergoes an 8-day carbonic maceration on the skins in small 5 hl tanks before quickly fermenting in barrel. Sporting a pale amber color, it offers skin-contact flavors reminiscent of dry Jurançon with a slight sherbet fizz, backed by classic Saint-Véran character. Nicely balanced with skin-derived tannins and moderate acidity.

Aromas evoke a dry Jurançon or Petit Manseng, alongside a lively, almost sherbet-like aromatic lift. On the palate, the carbonic maceration introduces a distinct tannic grip and a savory, textural breadth, while the traditional crystalline fruit of Saint-Véran waits quietly in the background. The acidity is notably softer than a standard Mâconnais white, rounding out a beautifully balanced, highly expressive, and purely natural finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- SERVING SUGGESTION --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eServing Suggestion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serve slightly chilled at 50-54°F (10-12°C) in a universal or white Burgundy glass to capture its expressive skin-contact aromatics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not strictly necessary, but 15-30 minutes of air can help blow off any slight carbonic reduction.
