Description
What kind of wine it is
Saint Veran Vieilles Vignes by Robert Denogent is an organic white wine that faithfully expresses the essence of Chardonnay. It presents a straw yellow colour, introducing an aromatic profile with clear fruity and floral notes, intertwined with distinct mineral hints. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced, offering a harmonious sip and a clean finish. Its pronounced freshness naturally enhances dishes of lean fish, poultry-based preparations, and various types of cheese.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in France, in the renowned Burgundy region, within the Saint Veran area. The Robert Denogent estate, located in the commune of Fuissé, preserves a historic family winemaking heritage now led by Nicolas and Antoine. The deep connection with the land is expressed through the enhancement of old vines, mature plots that add depth to the harvest. The production area defines a precise territorial context, recognised for whites characterised by a pronounced mineral component.
How it is produced
The production follows a rigorous method that respects the raw material. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, using only indigenous yeasts. Subsequently, the wine rests in a slow maturation for thirty-two months on the fine lees, a phase that develops an integrated texture and a firm gustatory balance. Bottling takes place with no filtration or fining, resulting in a glass that preserves the authentic imprint of its original terroir.
History and Curiosities
Located in Fuissé, the Robert Denogent estate preserves a historic winemaking heritage, now led by Nicolas and Antoine. This elegant organic Chardonnay enhances the ancient vineyards of Burgundy.

Bottled without filtration or fining, it offers a harmonious sip that delivers the authentic and unspoilt mineral expression of the French terroir.

Jean-Jacques Robert, Andrée's son, takes over the reins in 1989. The estate changes its name and becomes Robert-Denogent in homage to his ancestors. Jean-Jacques continues in the same vein, always a gourmand and eager to share his wines with his friends. He gradually increases the surface area of vines.
Nicolas, the eldest son, returns to the estate in 2006. He does more than support his father by bringing his vision of wine. Antoine, Nicolas' brother, joined the estate in 2012. In 2015, Jean-Jacques passed the baton... while remaining close to his sons. Read more
