2022 Maison Verget Pouilly-Fuisse "Le Haut de la Roche"
🍇 Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay
🍷 Tasting Notes: Aromas of pear, confit citrus, buttered popcorn, beeswax, and white flowers. The palate is medium to full-bodied, racy, and incisive, with a cool and saline character despite the warm vintage.
• Anecdotes and History: The vineyard of Le Haut de la Roche is located on the Roche de Vergisson in the Mâconnais region. It missed out on Premier Cru status solely due to its altitude of 400 meters. Jean-Marie Guffens considers it more worthy of classification than many new Premiers Crus, especially considering global warming and the trend for fresher wines with lower alcohol.
• Type of Soil: Stony limestone base.
• Region and Appellation: Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France.
• ABV: Approximately 12.5%.
