Tasting Notes:

Verget Saint Veran Lieu (Inter) dit 2022
Wine By Bok - 9.25 stars
The label implies the grapes are coming from a Lieu Dit (a village with naming rights) in Saint Veran. A blend of grapes coming from “Cote Rotie” vineyard in Davaye alongside Terres Noires. This is an unbelievable combustion of a great blend. I never failed to be amazed, the outcome was really luscious; bouquet of freshly squeezed fruit juice, with body predominantly low acidity mandarin oranges with softness and elegance. Frankly it’s not easy to make a village wine with such outcome, and credits must be given to the talented Guffens-Heynen for his talented winemaking skill.

Verget Poilly Fuisse Les Combes Vieilles Vignes 2022 versus Verget Poilly Fuisse 1er Cru Les Crays 2022
Wine By Bok - 9.25 stars
Let’s talk about Verget Poilly Fuisse Les Combes VV first. Over the years, we have been buying this wine without hesitation, as it’s for sure Verget’s top wine. A sip of Les Combes, it’s hard not to fall in love with it, the ripeness of the fruits, the power and great acidity. The content itself made the premier cru wine sitting next to it tasted poorly. Now I want to spend more time talking about Verget Poilly Fuisse 1er Cru Les Crays. On the initial sip, it didn’t have the vibrancy of Les Combes, and it lacked flavor as well, what it possessed was very decent level of finesse and elegance, but as usual, always overwhelmed by powerful wines like Les Combes. However, unlike many critics who took a sip and jump to a score conclusion, I followed the two bottles from head to toe to give it a fair evaluation. I can assure you why so many critics got their judgment wrong. If they have put aside a glass of Les Crays for half an hour and revisit it later, they will be shocked to find the content has totally morphed into a wine as powerful as Les Combes, and not only that, it still possessed the finesse and elegance, while the acidity is even more prominent. I have observed a really stunning evolution of Les Crays, and normally such evolution is only detected with wines of better quality (1er cru and above). I welcome drinkers to do similar experiment to find out what’s the difference between premier cru and village level wines and not just judge wines by a sip, and definitely not judge the wines by fruit ripeness itself!

2022 Verget Macon Bussieres Vieilles Vignes de Montbrison
Wine With Bok - 9.25/10 Stars
Macon-Bussieres is part of the Regionale Macon appellation in the Maconnais, it’s located about 100+ km south of Burgundy, close to Verget’s home of Sologny. This is one of the most popular wines from Verget. The vine age is around 40 years, surprisingly it’s not classified as Vielles Vignes (old vines), wine is aged in 25% new oak. My experience with this wine is actually a very modern fruity wine, if I was blinded, I would have thought this coming from a new world chardonnay style. I enjoyed the elegant finesse of the fruitiness of the wine body, akin to chewing a bunch of Pomelo pulps mingled with ripe orchard fruits. I think people who wants to try a Macnnais wine, look no further than Verget’s key production of this label, you maybe hooked!
