Thevenet & Fils, Saint-Veran, Clos de L'Ermitage Sainte Claude VV, 2023, 750ml

Description

Thevenet & Fils is another fantastic family run producer from the Macon-Pierreclos Appilation in Burgundy. Brothers Benjamin, Jonathan, and Aurélien Thevenet run the estate with their mother Helene. The Thevenet’s are dedicated to producing top quality wine with great typicity, meaning they want the grape varietal above all to dictate the flavor and aroma of their wines. 

This prestige cuvée is produced from the oldest vines in a five-hectare parcel exploited entirely as a “monopole”by the Thevenet family.  The average age of the south-facing Chardonnay vines located in Prissé are seventy years old.  This highly concentrated wine of limited production (about 12,000 bottles per year are produced) is aged in cuve (no oak aging).  It displays a powerful constitution with great density; it is marked also by notes of tilleul and jasmine in the bouquet and hints of pear in its flavor.
