✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Maison Verget's Tête de Cuvée is a brilliant testament to the potential of the Mâconnais, representing a meticulous selection of the finest Chardonnay juices from prime limestone-rich parcels. Spearheaded by the revolutionary Jean-Marie Guffens, this cuvée is crafted to highlight the pure, unadulterated expression of the grape. By utilizing gentle pressing, fermentation in horizontal stainless steel or concrete tanks, and aging on fine lees with little to no oak, Verget coaxes out an incredibly vibrant, mineral-driven profile. The name 'Tête de Cuvée' historically refers to the prime cut of the press, and here it delivers a wine defined by its bright citrus energy, green apple notes, and stony finish, challenging the traditional hierarchy of Burgundy with exceptional craftsmanship.
🍾 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.
