✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Maison Verget was established in 1990 by visionary Belgian winemaker Jean-Marie Guffens and his wife Maine Heynen in Sologny, located in the Mâconnais region of southern Burgundy. Renowned as a trailblazing négociant-éleveur, the house revolutionized Burgundy winemaking by implementing uncompromising standards of fruit selection, gentle horizontal pressing, and precise maturation on fine lees with minimal oak intervention. While celebrated globally for its pure, mineral-laden Chardonnay sourced across prime terroirs from the Mâconnais to Chablis and the Côte d'Or, Verget also applies its meticulous craft to expressive Pinot Noir and pioneering southern expressions. The resulting wines are acclaimed for their tension, crystalline purity, and authentic expression of site.
