The Mâcon-Bussières vineyard is north of the stunning Roche de Vergisson, directly below the village of the same name. It sits on a gentle southeast-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, it’s pure, layered and fleshy, with a refined, silken texture and lovely tension. This would easily slip into a tasting of more expensive wines from the Côte-d’Or.

Reviews

“Reliably a highlight of the Verget portfolio, the 2022 Mâcon-Bussières Vignes de Montbrison offers up aromas of pear, white flowers, hazelnuts and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny and charming palate, girdled by lively acids and concluding with a saline finish."
90 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
"The 2022 Mâcon-Bussières Vignes de Montbrison comes from a plot that touches Vergisson. Impressive detail and concentration on the nose offer peach and orange pith scents at first. More Golden Delicious aromas mixed with melted wax appear later. The palate is fresh and lively. There's a pleasing edginess and plenty of weight and girth towards the finish. Pear and grapefruit notes mix with a dab of lemongrass. Excellent."
