Pale gold with a hint of green, this Saint-Véran shimmers with freshness and quiet depth. Aromas of ripe pear, white peach and citrus blossom mingle with crushed stone and a gentle touch of hazelnut. On the palate, it’s pure and finely textured with juicy orchard fruit balanced by chalky minerality and a sleek, saline edge. The finish is long, elegant, and just a little bit wild in its energy - Burgundy sunshine wrapped in stony precision.

For when: the menu’s simple, the company’s great, and the evening’s still young.
Pairs with: seared scallops, roast chicken, or creamy mushroom pasta.
If this wine were a person, it’d have charm in spades and mud on its boots.

From the meticulous hands of Domaine des Deux Roches, Les Terres Noires takes its name from the dark, marl-rich limestone soils that give this wine its distinctive tension and minerality. Based in Davayé, in the heart of the Mâconnais, brothers Jean-Luc and Jean-Christophe Terrier craft precise, expressive Chardonnays that rival their northern neighbours in elegance. The 2023 vintage brings warmth, clarity and beautiful balance, a wine that glows with southern fruit yet keeps its cool Burgundian poise.
