Verget Saint-Veran ‘Lieu (Inter)dit’ 2022
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: Mainly from the locality dubbed the “Côte Rôtie” in the town of Davayé, as well as the “Terres Noires”.
FERMENTATION & AGING: Only using the first juice of the press; vinified in 30% new barrels. Aged about 7 additional months with numerous stirrings.
STYLE: The Terres Noires give rich and bold wines; the “Côte Rôtie” brings tension and minerality. As usual, the density is exceptional. The nose is very complex with menthol aromas but also toasted bread and very fresh butter. The palate is very dense and rich. The length and breadth in the mouth of this wine are particularly marked. The finish is very precise with a tangy finish which really extends the length.
