Verget Macon Villages Terres de Pierres 2018

Importer Notes;

Screwcap. Serious bang for your buck on offer here. Verget's Terres de Pierres (rocky soil) is simply the best value white Burgundy we ship. This year's version is from a blend of sources located around the commune of Viré-Clessé, in Macon's classic argilo-calcaire soils. As always, the wine is crafted only from free-run juice, fermented and then matured on its fine lees (for four months with no bâtonnage) in horizontal stainless steel tanks--designed to maximise interaction between the wine and its lees.

The 2018 is packed with fleshy yellow plum and nectarine fruit and subtle, nutty, kernel-like complexity. The palate is layered yet linear with more texture than the 2017 but with the same cool, powdery freshness and an appealing phenolic twist on the finish. Viré nice!
