✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the steep, wind-swept slopes of the iconic Rock of Vergisson in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy, 'Sur la Roche' (literally 'on the rock') is a masterclass in mineral-driven Chardonnay. The vineyard is situated at a high elevation where the soil is remarkably thin, consisting of hard limestone and fossilized shells. This extreme terroir forces the vines to dig deep, resulting in a white Burgundy of immense tension, saline minerality, and chiseled citrus fruit. Maison Verget, under the guiding philosophy of Jean-Marie Guffens, vinifies this fruit with absolute precision, utilizing gentle pressing and careful aging in a combination of concrete eggs, foudres, or older oak barrels to preserve the pristine, crystalline purity of the site without masking it in heavy wood. The Rock of Vergisson itself carries prehistoric significance, having served as a hunting site and landmark for millennia, lending an ancient, mystical heritage to this exceptional cuvée.
🍾 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.
