Macon Pierreclos Lieu Secret, Verget 2018

Tasting Notes

The 2018 Mâcon-Pierreclos Lieu Sécret originates in the only part of lieu-dit Le Chavigne that Guffens doesn't own himself, but his neighbor refuses to sell the vineyard, consenting only to sell the grapes. The resulting wine is superb, unfurling in the glass with aromas of citrus zest, Anjou pear, wheat toast and pastry cream, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with unmistakable old-vine concentration, muscular structuring extract and a racy spine of acidity. Tensile and stony, this is a Verget wine that wouldn't be out of place in the Guffens-Heynen cellar, and it comes warmly recommended. Drink 2020-2035.
