The Mâcon-Bussières vineyard lies north of the stunning Roche de Vergisson, directly below the village of the same name. It sits on a gentle southwest-facing slope, where the shallow soil is predominantly clay and limestone with plentiful stones. Verget’s bottling comes from one of the oldest plots of vines in this vineyard (over 40 years). Again, only free-run juices were used, and fermentation occurred entirely in wood. It was Jean-Marie Guffens who claimed no wine is over-oaked, just under-fruited, and the seasoning here (25% new) is judged to perfection. A class act from beginning to end, this would easily slip into a tasting of more expensive wines from the Côte-d’Or.
