Description
Verget, Saint-Véran "Vigne de Saint-Claude" 2018
Verget's Saint-Véran "Vigne de Saint-Claude" is a gift from a "Master in the art of Chardonnay", Jean-Marie Guffens.
Full and rich, but not overpowering. An elegant Chardonnay with a beautiful nose of lemon citrus, blossoms and honey. The well-balanced palate is full and fresh with a lively zipped-in acidity. Concentrated and intense with flavours of lemon and grapefruit citrus, a little peach and apricot, a touch of hazelnut and toasted brioche. The finish is long and captivating.
100% Chardonnay sourced from a beautiful plot in Prissé, near Vergisson in the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. The old vines have an average age of 50 years and grow in lime-clay soils rich in stones. This cuvée is vinified with natural yeasts in oak barrels (25% new) and then matures for around 4 months. Bottled without filtration.
A signature wine from the best producer of white Burgundy (according to critics)
