Tasting Notes
Cork. This bottling is drawn from a single parcel located at the top of Vaillons named Les Beugnons. The flowing texture of Vaillons—one of the warmer vineyards on the left bank of the Serein—is respected here in all its glory. Unlike Moreau-Naudet who raises part of its Vaillons in used oak, this wine is raised entirely in stainless steel and Guffens exploits the wine’s fresh, juicy acidity to cut thought the layered Vaillons fruit. Long and stylish, this has a charming combination of flesh, minerality and tension. - Importer Note
Jean-Marie Guffens is a figure that won't need much of an introduction to many of - he is best know as the founder and winemaker of the incredible Guffens-Heynen wines in Macon. Jean-Marie; however, has efforts outside this estate as well, representing amazing value in the context of French Chardonnay. Maison Verget is his micro-negoce label in which he sources fruit predominantly from Mâcon, with supplementary sources from serious, like-minded growers in Chablis and southern France. Chateau des Tourettes is his southernmost venture, sourcing fruit from the underrated terroirs of southern France around Provence!
