A cuvée that's one of the stalwarts of the Verget range, year in year out, has turned in a strong performance with the 2023 Mâcon-Bussières Vignes de Montbrison, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping wine redolent of pear, waxy citrus rind, bread dough and toasted nuts. It will offer a broad drinking window. 2024 - 2034
This popular cuvée comes from a clay and limestone soil and is matured in barrel with 25% new oak. Pale in the glass and almost hoppy and herbal on the nose, this is a tensile, fresh and lively wine in 2023. Lemons and limes form the fruit core, framed by an almost pithy grip of structure to keep everything chalky and fine-boned. Crunchy, refreshing and moreish - this should get even better with a few months in bottle.
