Verget Bourgogne Terres de Pierres 2022

This cuvée is a blend of two great terroirs of the Mâconnais: Mâcon-Charnay and Viré-Clessé. These particular wines do not strike Verget as especially Mâconnais in style, so the blend is bottled under the Bourgogne appellation. In terms of the winemaking, all the wines are vinified in mature oak, and the lees are not stirred ‘so as not to mask the natural freshness of the wine’. With notes of yellow stone fruits, beeswax and sweet summer florals, it’s a fuller, more powerful wine than the Mâcon Villages. In short, it is a delicious, straight-shooting Bourgogne with a nice kernel twist on the enveloping finish. Again, this is a great drink and offers superb value.
