✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the limestone-rich slopes of Bussieres in the Maconnais region of Burgundy, the 'Les Clous' bottling by Maison Verget is a masterclass in precision and terroir expression. The vineyard of Les Clous is situated on a cold, high-altitude site with very stony, chalky soils, which imparts a distinctive, Chablis-like minerality to the Chardonnay grapes. Winemaker Jean-Marie Guffens utilizes horizontal stainless steel tanks and concrete vats for fermentation and aging, intentionally avoiding heavy oak influence to preserve the vineyard's natural high acidity, vibrant citrus profile, and intense flinty character. This approach highlights the pure, crystalline tension that has made Verget a benchmark producer in the southern reaches of Burgundy.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Verget blev grundlagt i 1990 af den visionære belgiske vinmager Jean-Marie Guffens og hans hustru Maine Heynen i Sologny, beliggende i Mâconnais i det sydlige Bourgogne. Som en banebrydende négociant-éleveur revolutionerede huset vinproduktionen i Bourgogne med sine kompromisløse standarder for drueudvælgelse, skånsom horisontal presning samt præcis lagring på det fine bundfald med minimal brug af nyt egetræ. Verget er verdenskendt for sine rene, mineralske Chardonnay-vine fra førsteklasses terroirs i alt fra Mâconnais til Chablis og Côte d'Or, men mestrer også ekspressive Pinot Noir-vine og nytænkende fortolkninger fra det sydlige Frankrig. Vinene hyldes for deres nerve, krystalklare renhed og autentiske terroirpræg.
