Lovely. The 2011 Macon-Vergisson La Roche sees 15% new oak. It offers a convincing bouquet of apricot blossom and honeysuckle that is well-defined and demonstrates great lift from the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry. The acidity is well-judged and it fans out to a beautiful apricot and quince tinged finish that is focused and harmonious. Superb.
There is little that needs to be written about Verget, the winery of Jean-Marie Guffens that has not already been written. These are fine expressions of Chardonnay that performed to a high standard during my blind tasting sessions at the BIVB. Generally, I used to find a difference between the Verget and Jean-Marie Guffens wines, though tasting them blind, the gap was not as wide as I expected.
