Jessica Litaud Saint Veran Les Pommards 2021 AOC 0.75l

Jessica Litaud Saint Véran Les Pommards 2021 AOC 0.75l is a white wine born in the heart of the Mâconnais, an area of ​​Burgundy where the limestone soil and careful exposure to the sun provide structure and a sense of territory, offering a restrained yet nuanced interpretation of Chardonnay. The 0.75-liter bottle tells a story of land, climate, and craftsmanship, reflected in a luminous straw-yellow hue and silvery highlights, promising immediacy without haste but with substance. The producer's story is one of care and identity: a company led by Jessica Litaud, a figure who has combined agronomic studies with a passion for vineyards, transforming a passion into a corporate philosophy based on respect for the terroir, intelligent management of resources, and an invisible hand that intervenes only as little as necessary to leave authentically personal traces of the land. The production philosophy is expressed through meticulous practices, with a manual harvest aimed at selecting perfect bunches, bottling that strives for stability and purity, and vinification conducted in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, followed by maturation on the fine lees to promote a creamy texture without losing freshness. The approach is defined by a balance between innovation and tradition, always oriented towards preserving the minerality and enhancing the purity of the fruit, rather than embellishing the bottle with unnecessary ornamentation. Distinctive elements and uniqueness emerge from the synergy between the local microclimate, controlled ripening, and an oxygenated management designed to preserve aromatic vivacity and flavorful density. It is a project that stands out from other similar producers for its attention to detail and a projection of elegant longevity, capable of offering a window into tomorrow today. The stylistic and sensorial characteristics unfold in a narrative of citrus aromas, wildflowers, and a subtle mineral note reminiscent of river pebbles, accompanied by a fresh, supple, and enveloping palate, with minimal or no tannins and a long finish that leaves traces of almond and white honey. The wine occupies a distinct place in the producer's portfolio as an expression of a benchmark category for Chardonnay in the Saint-Véran area, capable of combining tradition and modernity. In keeping with the STELT positioning, this wine offers a concrete demonstration of restraint, depth, and character, offering a tasting experience that invites conversation and ongoing discovery, without artifice but with a precious coherence.
