Jessica Litaud Saint Veran Les Pommards 2022

JESSICA LITAUD SAINT VERAN LES POMMARDS 2022
Burgundy // France

Broad, fleshy stone fruit with a saline minerality. 

Gorgeous now but a wine that will reveal further layers of complexity over the next decade in bottle.
-
A name that circulates on the lips of many wine enthusiasts, Jessica Litaud is one of our favourite wine makers and a brilliant young talent crafting crystalline white Burgundies out of supposedly 'humble' Mâconnais terroirs.
 
After working with Jean-Marie Guffens and spending two vintages with Jean-François Ganevat in the Jura, Jessica returned in 2019 to take over her family's 5.5ha of biodynamically farmed vines including some of Pouilly-Fuissé's long-awaited 1er Cru vineyards: 'La Marechaude', 'Sur La Roche', and 'Les Crays'.
 
Deciding to work alone, Jessica's annual production is minute and her work is incredibly hands-on and precise. Her wines are characterised by their purity and fruit concentration, balanced by gentle oak and saline mineral nuances. This lightness of touch is rarely found in Burgundy and as a result allocation of her wines have become increasingly hard to come by.
