Wine:

A Committee favorite rated 94/100, the 2022 white Saint-Véran Cuvée Hommage encapsulates all the hallmarks of Denis Jeandeau's style, blending texture, brilliance, depth, and finesse.

Adored by top Michelin-starred chefs, Denis Jeandeau had become a phenomenon. Restaurants like Régis Marcon, Le Pré Catelan, Lameloise, l’Arpège, l’Ambroisie, and Guy Savoy, to name a few, featured his wines on their menus.

Logically awarded 2 stars in the RVF Guide for several years, he was considered one of the greatest talents of his generation, a fact we celebrated in our magazine Racines, which detailed his journey and success.

We were deeply saddened by his sudden passing last summer. Over the years, he had become a friend and close associate of Ventealapropriete.

In light of our long-standing relationship, we were deeply honored to be entrusted by his family with the distribution of his last produced bottles.
