Christophe Cordier Saint-Véran En Faux 2017
Saint-Véran AOC

Christophe Cordier is a perfectionist. He decides when to harvest by taste alone, then matures his wine in barrels made from oak from a single forest and bottles it without filtration by gravity. Enjoy his almost Meursault-like Saint Véran 2017.
