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.
