MAISON VERGET
Top Maconais negociant.
RP/William Kelley -
Jean-Marie Guffens's Verget label, today
superintended by the able Julien Desplans, continues to be a reference
point for the Mâconnais. The best cuvées very much belong among the
Mâconnais's élite, but this portfolio is also rich with terrific values
to purchase by the case that would make ideal daily drinkers or
by-the-glass pours.
Classy but keenly priced white Burgundy isn't easy to come by these
days, so we should all be thankful for the Maison Verget. These wines
come warmly recommended |

|
NOTE: This section lists all of the Verget wines, irrespective of their price. |

However, 2022 is a very good vintage and this is one of Verget's best
value wines (please the below 2020 review) - Highly recommended.

'Sur la Roche'
Verget
RP/William Kelley -
Another of the perennial highlights of the range
is the 2020 Mâcon-Vergisson La Roche, a medium to full-bodied, chiselled
and electric wine evocative of crisp Anjou pear, citrus zest, mint and
vanilla pod. Saline and penetrating, from cool, northwest-facing plots,
it is well worth seeking out. |

'Le Haut de Roche'
Verget
RP/William Kelley -
Opening in the glass with scents of pear, orange
oil, toasted nuts and white flowers, the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Le Haut de

layered core of fruit, lively acids and a mouthwatering finish. |

'Les Grands Terroirs Oublies'
Verget
RP/William Kelley -
A lovely new cuvée based around sites denied the
premier cru appellation, the 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé Grands Terroirs Oubliés
wafts from the glass with aromas of orange oil, pear, nutmeg, beeswax
and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural,
with racy acids and a long, mineral finish, it's worth seeking out. |

'Les Combes V. V.'
Verget
RP/William Kelley -
Picked in three successive passages over the
course of three weeks, the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Combes Vieilles
Vignes wafts from the glass with scents of citrus zest, crisp green
orchard fruit, white flowers and rock salt. Full-bodied, layered and
concentrated, it's chiselled and precise, its satiny attack segueing
into a complete mid-palate and a long, saline finish. |

Pouilly-Fuissé
Terroir de Pouilly
'Les Combes V. V.'
Verget
RP/William Kelley -
The 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Combes Vieilles Vignes
was picked in three successive passes through the vineyard and vinified
with the sort of attention to detail lavished on Guffens's domaine
wines, so it's no surprise that this Maison Verget bottling wouldn't be
too out of place in the Domaine Guffens-Heynen range. Wafting from the
glass with scents of fresh peach, pear, white flowers and frangipane,
it's full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a deep, multidimensional
and complete palate that's intensely concentrated but avoids any
excessive weight, concluding with a long, lip-smacking finish.
Readers should make every effort to track down a few of the 7,500
bottles that were produced. Bravo to Jean-Marie Guffens and Julien
Desplans! |

Pouilly-Fuissé
'Sur la Roche' 1er Cru
Verget
RP/William Kelley -
The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé La Roche unfurls to reveal
notes of citrus oil, pear, crushed chalk and vanilla pod.
Full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's seamless and complete, a deep core
of concentrated fruit underpinned by chalky dry extract and tangy acids.
Seamless and complete, it's another terrific rendition of this perennial
star of the portfolio. |
