Wines Saint-Véran B - Domaine Lucquet - 2021

Viniou Reviews

The 2021 Domaine Lucquet cuvée from Château B is a distinctive red wine from the Saint-Véran appellation in the Mâconnais sub-region of Burgundy, France. Normally known for its white wines, particularly Chardonnay, a red from this area is unique. The terroir of the Mâconnais, with its limestone-rich soils and temperate climate, lends a refreshing minerality to the wine, even though it remains a rarity for a Saint-Véran red. The region’s rolling hills and variable weather patterns make for a distinctive Burgundy character. Château B has a rich history in the area, known for its commitment to traditional Burgundian vinification techniques.

For food pairings, this robust red wine would complement dishes like coq au vin or beef bourguignon, which are rooted in the region. Its deep flavours and structure can also be highlighted with a dish of grilled lamb or a rich mushroom risotto, offering a harmony of flavors that accentuates the wine’s complex profile.

When serving this Saint-Véran, aim for a temperature around 16-18°C. A moderate decanting time, about 30-45 minutes, will allow the wine to fully open up and reveal its complexities. Begin with observing its deep colour, proceed to explore the rich aromas, and then savour the intricate palate. This wine is a journey through the senses, offering a spectacular representation of Burgundy's versatility and elegance.
