The cru of Saint Véran is split in two small plots around the cru of Pouilly-Fuissé. They both run
alongside the extended bottom slopes of Solutré mountain which display at their top specific
limestone soils called “Calcaire à Entroques”. The steep western slopes of this terroir are made of
grey marles. The more gentle oriental slopes are made of limestone and marle soils.
Jean Loron vinifies specific single vineyards from these slopes under the strict control of its chief
winemaker with temparature control and ageing on fine lees during 6 months in order to provide a
certain roundness to the wine. Partially aged in oak barrels.
