Macon Pierreclos Lieu Secret, Verget 2023

Tasting Notes

This wonderful white Burgundy has been a star of the Verget range for several years. It is made from vines that touch the Chavigne vineyard of Domaine Guffens-Heynen but, as they are not owned by the Domaine, it is bottled under the Verget label. Jean Marie prefers to keep the grape source of this wine a secret, hence the name. Matured in oak barrels of which 25% are new. Pale in colour with a layered, fresh nose of struck flint, intense citrus, white peach and dried herbs. This is already complex, with a tightly coiled fruit core that has excellen underlying ripeness. Intense yet finely balanced, this fleshes out to show creamy, oily stone fruits on the finish. This has body and length, a real richness without ever being heavy. Another excellent rendition of this cuvée.
