Domaine Corsin
Domaine Corsin have made outstanding wines in Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé since 1864 and were among the first to label wines as Pouilly-Fuissé and Mâcon Blanc. Today, Domaine Corsin is run by Jéremy, the sixth generation of the Corsin family, and comprises 13.6 hectares of Chardonnay, of which nine are in Saint-Véran.
The domaine’s Mâcon-Villages is sourced from fruit grown on north-east facing slopes at an elevation of 200 – 280 metres, in the villages of Davayé and Solutré. This unoaked Mâcon is bright gold, with refreshing citrus fruit on the palate and a long finish. The Saint-Véran ‘Tirage Précoce’ (which means ‘early racking’) is matured on its fine lees until bottling. The resulting wine has distinct citrus aromatics and a refreshing acidity. The Saint-Véran ‘Vieilles Vignes’ is sourced from vines with an average age of 40 years old. Fermented in stainless steel, 35% of the wine is aged on its fine lees, in oak barrels for eight months with occasional bâtonnage. The final wine is defined by citrus and yellow peach flavours, lifted by a bright acidity.
