Verget Macon Villages Terres de Pierres 2023

The sources for this bottling can vary from year to year, but one thing stays the same—Verget’s Terres de Pierres, is the value best white Burgundy we ship. This ‘18 is drawn from the villages of Viré (60%), a parcel closed to Davayé (30%) and La Roche Vineuse. The Viré parcel sits on Macon’s classic argilo-calcaire and provides the wine’s depth, while the chalky soils of La Roche Vineuse provides the mouth-watering cut.La totalité de cette cuvée a été vinifiée en cuves inox horizontales. As always the wine is crafted from only free run juice, fermented and then matured on its fine lees (for three months with no battonage) in horizontal stainless steel tanks that have been designed to maximise interaction between the wine and its lees while minimising reduction. Talk about bang for your buck. This is packed with generous nectarine and spicy, kernelly fruit and some earthy complexity as well. Expect a layered, creamy palate – with volume but not fat – and a cool, powdery freshness. In a word, delicious.
