2022 Maison Verget Saint-Veran "Lieu (Inter)dit"
🍇 Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay
🍷 Tasting Notes: Aromas of pear, waxy citrus fruit, freshly baked bread, and sweet stone fruits. The palate is medium to full-bodied, rich, and satiny with a tangy finish that enhances its length and breadth.
• Anecdotes and History: The name "Lieu (Inter)dit" refers to the "forbidden place" as the growers were prohibited from using the name "Côte-Rôtie" to avoid confusion with the Northern Rhône Syrah. The vineyard sources are primarily from the Côte-Rôtie and Terres Noires plots in Davayé, known for their expressive terroir.
• Type of Soil: The vineyards have stony limestone soil, contributing to the wine's minerality and complexity
• Region and Appellation: Saint-Veran, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France.
• ABV: Approximately 13%.
