The nose of this Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru is fresh and complex, with aromas of toast, very fresh butter and gunflint. The palate is clean and rich, with great density at the start, and quickly evolves on very mineral notes. This is a very precise wine. Remarkable length on the palate thanks to its minerality.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
The Verget trading house is part of the Guffens-Heynen "trilogy", where Jean-Marie Guffens, supported by his loyal second-in-command Julien Desplans, applies the recipes tried and tested on his elite domaine since the 1980s, which serve as a worldwide benchmark for Chardonnay. The spearhead here remains the Mâconnais, but purchases from the Chablis region are regular and, depending on the vintage, there are some fine cuvées from the Côte de Beaune. Booking en primeur will be all the more judicious as it may provide an opportunity to buy "terroir-less" wines by the capsule, proving that it's not always terroir that counts when it comes to quality. Last but not least, this is the address where you can buy Guffens aux Tourettes and Verget du Sud, at unbeatable price-pleasure ratios, reviewed in the Rhône Valley section of this guide. An exemplary address.

About the domain :
Jean-Marie Guffens has put all his talent and exacting standards into this haute-couture negociant founded in 1990. Julien Desplans, a brilliant oenologist trained at Romanée-Conti, has been the master on board at Verget since 2012. Crowned negociant of the year by the RVF jury in 2020, he is unanimously acclaimed for his unrivalled vinifications, highly specialized sourcing choices and precise pressing and ageing. Let's salute these 2019s of great mastery.
