✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Verget's 'Terroirs de Roche' is a masterful expression of Mâcon-Villages, showcasing the philosophy that the Mâconnais holds terroirs capable of rivaling the prestigious Côte d'Or. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay, this cuvée is sourced from select vineyards characterized by exceptionally stony, limestone-rich soils—hence the name 'Roche' (rock). To preserve the pristine, mineral-driven purity of the fruit, Verget vinifies and ages this wine primarily in stainless steel or concrete vats, avoiding the heavy influence of new oak. This minimalist approach coaxes out a vibrant bouquet of green apple, citrus zest, and crushed wet stones, backed by the signature tension and energy that revolutionized white winemaking in the region during the late 20th century.
🍾 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.
