Today, the domaine is run by the sixth generation of the Corsin family, Jérémy, and comprises 13.6 hectares of Chardonnay, of which nine are in Saint-Véran.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eDomaine Corsin’s Mâcon-Villages is unoaked and sourced from fruit grown on north-east facing slopes at an elevation of 200 – 280 metres, in the villages of Davayé and Solutré. The Saint-Véran ‘Tirage Précoce’ (which means ‘early racking’) is matured on its fine lees until bottling, creating excellent texture that complements 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. It is defined by lemon zest and yellow peach flavours, lifted by a bright acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ is sourced from 55-year-old vines in both Fuissé and Solutré, at the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. 40% of the wine is aged on its fine lees for 10 months, in oak barrels (20% new) with occasional bâtonnage. The Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru ‘Aux Chailloux’, is a prime lieu-dit that was awarded 1er status in 2020. Fermented 50% in oak and 50% in stainless steel, the resulting wine has flavours of ripe yellow fruits, sweet pastries and hints of marzipan which linger on the finish and illustrates why Pouilly-Fuissé is the most prestigious appellation of the Mâconnais.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vineyards are situated around the village of Davayé with a north-easterly exposure. Alternating gentle and steep slopes provides the 25-year-old vines with optimal exposure and good sunlight, aiding the maturity of the grapes. Soils are composed of clay and limestone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiPaper-root MuiAccordion-root accordion_accordion__I9cut Mui-expanded MuiAccordion-rounded MuiPaper-elevation1 MuiPaper-rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-root MuiCollapse-entered\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapperInner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"region\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiAccordionDetails-root\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe 2022 vintage started with a long cold winter, leading to relatively late bud burst. Spring frosts presented dangers to the underdeveloped buds requiring careful management to avoid damage. A hot, windy summer followed and, with little rain, yields were down and the berries were smaller than usual, producing concentrated and rich wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Tirage Précoce Saint Véran, which translates as “early racking”, is unique to Domaine Corsin. The grapes are harvested by hand before being gently pressed and cold fermented in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is unoaked and matured on fine lees for 8 months until it is ready for bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePale lemon in colour. On the nose, the wine has a delicate bouquet of ripe stone fruit and pear aromas with notes o f wet stone. The palate is full and complex with a balance between the ripe and fruit-forward style and the lasting minerality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wine Tasting Adventure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56707859612026,"sku":null,"price":21.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/4297\/9770\/files\/ff2d5848-bf5a-4b08-9e05-064476134fb1__250x500_e9c0b525-7d9c-4469-a25e-0d2fb9325fc3.png?v=1773918933","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-ta.co.uk\/products\/2022-domaine-corsin-saint-veran-tirage-precoce-liberty","provider":"Wine Tasting Adventure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
