Verget Mâcon-Charnay Clos Saint-Pierre 2021

Verget Mâcon-Charnay Clos Saint-Pierre is a single-clos Chardonnay from the south-facing slopes of the Mont du Mâconnais.

Charnay-lès-Mâcon sits immediately west of Mâcon, and Clos Saint-Pierre lies on the south-facing flank of the Mont du Mâconnais, where the soils vary but limestone predominates. Verget is the négociant house founded by the Belgian grower Jean-Marie Guffens, who buys fruit and juice rather than farming the vineyards himself and applies serious white-Burgundy winemaking to appellations that do not always receive it. Frost cut the crop here severely, so the wine was made from very low yields. The fruit was harvested on 23 and 24 September, and the free-run juice fermented entirely in used barrels through to the end of January, so there is no new oak in the wine at all.

Drinking now and holding four or five years. Serve at 10-12°C with roast chicken, grilled prawns or a gruyère tart.
