Verget
William Kelley fra The Wine Advocate skriver følgende om Verget:
Domaine Guffens-Heynen may be the label that makes collectors line up in wait, but Maison Verget has long ranked as one of the Mâconnais's top addresses in its own right. The 2023 vintage, a strong rival to the house's 2020 portfolio, only underlines that. As I've written before, Verget's Sologny winery is a sizable facility, unlike the tiny cellars of Domaine Guffens-Heynen, but artisanal methods have been intelligently scaled to match the requirements of larger-scale production: large horizontal stainless steel tanks, for example, offer the same lees-wine ratio as oak barrels, and the lees can be worked with nitrogen without introducing any oxygen into the vessel. Such inventiveness—and Desplans's evident fastidiousness—explain how Verget can offer such quality on such a scale. The best cuvées very much belong among the Mâconnais élite, but this portfolio is also rich with terrific values to purchase by the case, which would make ideal daily drinkers or by-the-glass pours.
