Tasting Note
Ripe pear, confit citrus and white flowers with beeswax, toasted brioche and pronounced chalky minerality. Bright acidity, dense mid-palate and a long saline, palate‑scraping finish.

Food Pairing
Western: seared scallops, lobster or crab with beurre blanc, roasted chicken in cream sauce, mushroom risotto. Asian: miso‑glazed black cod, tempura prawns, sushi/sashimi (salmon), delicate Cantonese seafood or lightly spiced coconut‑based dishes.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested; only first-press juice; fermented and aged 8–9 months in oak (≈25% new) with lees stirring; bottled after élevage.

Vineyard Info
Maison Verget (Jean‑Marie Guffens), négoce‑producer since 1990, sources Chardonnay from Vergisson’s Sur la Roche plots; noted for terroir-driven Mâconnais whites and precise oak élevage.
