✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the rolling clay-limestone hills of the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy, 'Les Châtaigniers' takes its name from the historic chestnut trees that once bordered these sun-drenched vineyards. Crafted by the innovative Maison Verget under the guidance of Jean-Marie Guffens, this cuvée is a pure expression of 100% Chardonnay. To preserve the vibrant energy and pristine fruit of the terroir, the wine is typically fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel or concrete vats, avoiding heavy oak influence. The result is a classic white Burgundy characterized by bright citrus, green apple, and white flower aromas, underpinned by a signature chalky minerality and a refreshing, tense finish.
🍾 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.
