Domaine Paquet
Saint Veran
BACKGROUND
Clay and limestone soil produces classic grapes from the Saint Verand region. The wine is vinified one-third in old oak barrels to add richness and body, while two-thirds is vinified in stainless steel to retain freshness and liveliness. Yannick’s genius is to marry these two wines into a harmonious whole. It’s a low-cost wine that delivers big taste.
TASTING NOTES
White flower aromas, especially acacia. Hints of licorice. The palate has pleasant structure with good balance between the fruit, minerality, and acidity. Very pleasant finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Aperitif. Lighter fish, such as Cod. Goat cheese. Rabbit.
