Domaine Corsin Saint-Véran Tirage Précoce 2023
£20.45
The wine
Pale lemon, with a delicate bouquet of ripe stone fruit and pear.
Tirage Précoce means early bottling, a wine put into glass sooner to keep its freshness rather than given extended time in cask. The Mâconnais is the southern end of Burgundy, on limestone, and it is where the region Chardonnay remains affordable enough to drink rather than save. Domaine Corsin work at Davayé and Pouilly-Fuissé, the estate built up by the brothers Jean-Jacques and Gilles.

Domaine Corsin
View all Domaine Corsin winesDomaine Corsin is a respected family estate in the Mâconnais, the sunny southern reach of Burgundy around Fuissé and Davaé. Run by the Corsin family for generations, it has built a name for pure, well-priced white Burgundy. Chardonnay is its calling.
The domaine farms across the great Mâcon appellations, from Mâcon-Villages to Saint-Véran and premier cru Pouilly-Fuissé. The limestone slopes at the foot of the Roche de Solutré give the wines their cut and minerality. Careful farming keeps the fruit fresh and expressive.
In the cellar, classical winemaking with measured oak produces wines of freshness and depth. From crisp, unoaked Mâcon to richer, barrel-aged Pouilly-Fuissé, each cuvée is true to its origin. Balance and purity guide the range.
From an everyday Mâcon-Villages to premier cru Pouilly-Fuissé, Corsin offers the Mâconnais at its best. Fresh, mineral and keenly priced, these are wines that show why southern Burgundy is so loved.
