True wine enthusiasts know the importance of every detail that transforms a simple grape variety into a divine beverage. In an ever-changing world, the symbiosis of tradition and innovation is essential. It’s in this spirit that the Vignerons des Terres Secrètes unveil their latest creation: the Saint-Véran 2020 from the Cerço range.
A cuvée that sings the praises of Burgundy
Nestled in the heart of the Mâconnais region, in the commune of Prissé, the Saint-Véran vines draw their essence from clay-limestone soil. This unique terroir, tinged with minerality, gives birth to exceptional Chardonnays, true ambassadors of Burgundy.
The 2020 vintage, characterized by its warmth, dryness and earliness, was a blessing for these vines carefully cultivated in Organic Agriculture. The harvest, carried out in optimal conditions, produced grapes of rare quality.
Cerço: An eco-responsible approach
Cerço is more than just a name: it embodies a project for 100% eco-designed, collaborative wines. Behind this approach is a team of 25 employees and 14 committed winemakers, all united by a common goal: to produce wines that respect the Earth while being economically viable.
Launched in February 2022, the Cerço range offers a palette of five wines, each reflecting a specific Burgundy appellation. The Cerço adventure doesn’t stop there. From 2021, every wine in the range will be bottled in a container designed for reuse, reinforcing their eco-responsible commitment.
A wine with delicate, ethical notes
When tasted, Saint-Véran 2020 Cerço immediately seduces with its golden color, a symbol of its nobility. Fruity and floral aromas mingle in a refined olfactory dance, giving way to a mouth that’s both full-bodied and fresh, perfectly balanced.
Les Vignerons des Terres Secrètes : Guardians of a tradition
Established in southern Burgundy since 1928, the 120 families of Vignerons des Terres Secrètes are the custodians of a winemaking tradition that has evolved with the times. With 906 hectares of AOC vines, they are the leading producer of AOC Saint-Véran. This unique cooperative winery stands out for its profound respect for the environment and its terroirs, an approach rewarded by the « Vignerons Engagés » label since 2013.
Cerço, symbolizing the virtuous circle and eternal cycle of nature, is the perfect reflection of the commitment of Les Vignerons des Terres Secrètes. With Saint-Véran 2020, it’s all the love of Burgundy, its terroir and its traditions that we find in our glasses. A tasting that is both a journey through time and a step towards a more sustainable future.
