This Bourgogne Blanc receives what Jean-Marie Guffens describes as a "Grand Elevage" - that is to say a similar method of production to his single vineyard wines. Made from grapes picked from old vines in the Peronne Les Légeres and Macon Charnay vineyards, this year it also includes much of the fruit from Verget favourite Macon Bussieres Montbrison. It is matured for 10 months in oak barrels with 15% new oak. Bright lemon in colour with a supple fruit core and light creaminess on the nose, this is a glossy, pliant wine that is perfect for drinking early. The palate is slick and juicy, with succulent stone fruits and a silky mouthfeel. Juicy and lightly smoky on a long, fine finish.
Julian Desplans (wine-maker and right-hand man of Jean-Marie Guffens) says that the 2024 Verget wines have both minerality and power. Picked from September 10th to 28th. They are reminiscent of the 2010 and 2014 vintages.
