✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the 'Les Prusettes' climat in the commune of Charnay-les-Macon, this white Burgundy is a stellar showcase of Maison Verget's mastery over the Maconnais terroirs. Crafted entirely from Chardonnay grown on classic clay-limestone soils, the wine benefits from the house's pioneering techniques. Verget typically utilizes horizontal stainless steel tanks or concrete vats for fermentation and aging on the fine lees, avoiding heavy oak to preserve the pristine, vibrant character of the fruit. The resulting wine is celebrated for its striking tension, offering a bouquet of white peach, citrus blossom, and a distinct, chalky minerality that reflects the unique geological heritage of the region.
🍾 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.
