Hailing from the rolling limestone hills of Charnay-les-Macon in the southern reaches of Burgundy, Verget's 'En Tremblay' is a masterful expression of pure Chardonnay. The 'En Tremblay' lieu-dit is celebrated for its clay-limestone soils, which impart a signature tension and stony minerality to the wine. Under the guidance of Maison Verget, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented primarily in stainless steel or concrete vats to preserve the vibrant, sun-drenched orchard fruit and citrus aromatics typical of the Maconnais. By aging the wine on its fine lees with minimal intervention, Verget coaxes out a beautiful, creamy texture that balances the wine's natural, electric acidity. This bottling perfectly captures the revolutionary spirit of the house, proving that village-level Maconnais can achieve a level of sophistication and energy that rivals its prestigious northern neighbors.
