Verget Pouilly-Fuisse ‘Aux Combes Vieilles Vignes’ 2021
Jean-Marie Guffens began Verget in 1990 as his negociant project. Verget follows the same ideals as Guffens’ Domaine Guffens-Heynen wines: ” the best wine is made using the best grapes.” They have always only bought grapes in a very meticulous manner. Each plot is pressed and vinified separately. The wines are aged on the lees and stirred depending on each cuvee and vintage. Aging is in cement tanks, stainless vats, or barrels and often the final product is a combination. Verget’s Macon display a fabulous balance of richness and vibrancy, all with a sense of place.
THE VINEYARD: 70 year old average vine age; 70% south-facing, 30% north-facing. Clay-based soils
FERMENTATION & AGING: First press juice vinified in 25% new barrels. Fermentation continued until November, followed by aging in barrels for around 8 months.
STYLE: The nose has fruity aromas like pear, white flowers, light roasting and fresh butter. The palate is rich and suave, powerful and very clear. It is perfectly balanced between power and freshness.
