Winemaker's Notes:

"Another constant in the Verget line-up, their 2006 Corton-Charlemagne from east-facing, 60 year-old vines is a real powerhouse. With breadth and considerable alcoholic weight 14% - but less, Guffens points out, than the 2005 this at the same time cuts a real swath across the palate with citrus and chalk. Fresh lime, honeydew melon, brown spices, and pungent herbs are seamlessly stiched into a mineral framework and low-toned meaty richness emerges like a powerful undercurrent in the finish. This should merit at least 7-9 years' cellaring."

My Notes:

About Verget:

By creating Verget in 1990, Jean-Marie Guffens shown the same requirement as for his personal production. The philosophy of the house can be summed up in one simple sentence: "the best wine is made using the best grapes." This adage quasi Basic is the keystone of Verget. Thus, whether in the Mâconnais, Chablis or Cote d'Or, what are the best vineyards and the best terroirs who are wanted for producing quality wines.
