Crafted by the iconoclastic Jean-Marie Guffens of Maison Verget, '10 Ans' is a testament to the producer's legendary willingness to defy traditional Burgundian conventions. This unique white cuv ee is a multi-vintage blend of Chardonnay, meticulously selected from various parcels across their prime terroirs in Burgundy. By blending different vintages, Guffens bypasses rigid appellation laws to create a wine of singular harmony, complexity, and consistency. The wine undergoes precise pressing and is aged in a combination of oak barrels and horizontal concrete tanks, resulting in a texturally rich, mineral-driven profile. It beautifully marries the fresh, vibrant acidity of younger components with the deep, nutty, and honeyed nuances of older reserve wines, embodying the rebellious yet masterful spirit of Verget.

By employing precise pressing techniques, custom oak and concrete aging regimens, and minimal intervention, Verget crafts expressive, mineral-driven Chardonnay and elegant Pinot Noir. Their signature expressions, such as the Grand Elevage and various single-vineyard bottlings, are celebrated globally for their tension, purity, and exceptional value.
