"The Pommard Saucilles displays immediate roundness, with a beautiful concentrated structure." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2013 - RVF). A wine with surprising roundness and smoothness on the palate, with a hint of bitterness on the finish that gives it a lovely freshness. Very indulgent!

Wine rated (2013 guide) 15,5/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)

About wine:

Beautifully ripe grapes, smooth, broad, elegant texture, lovely length. Excellent winemaking.

About the estate:

The Verget wine merchant is part of the Guffens-Heynen "trilogy," where Jean-Marie Guffens, supported by his loyal assistant Julien Desplans, has been applying proven methods to his elite estate since the 1980s, setting the global standard for Chardonnay. The spearhead here remains the Mâconnais, but purchases in the Chablis region are regular and, depending on the vintage, there are some fine vintages from the Côte de Beaune. Pre-order reservations are particularly wise as they offer the opportunity to purchase "non-terroir" wines with screw caps, proving that terroir is not always the determining factor in quality. Finally, it should be noted that this is the place to go for Guffens aux Tourettes and Verget du Sud wines, which offer unbeatable value for money, as discussed in the Rhône Valley section of this guide. An exemplary address.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the estate:

Jean-Marie Guffens has poured all his talent and high standards into this haute couture wine merchant, founded in 1990. Julien Desplans, a brilliant oenologist trained at Romanée-Conti, has been at the helm of Verget since 2012. Named Wine Merchant of the Year by the RVF jury in 2020, he is unanimously praised for his outstanding winemaking, his highly selective sourcing and the precision of his pressing and aging techniques. Let's salute these masterful 2019 wines.

Review and opinion by Ms. ANNIE V. Published on 01/11/2019

I bought two bottles of this wine in October 2018. The first bottle, opened in November, was corked and undrinkable. Fortunately, the second bottle, opened for Christmas, was not, but we found this Pommard Premier Cru short on the palate and disappointing. All in all, considering the price, a very disappointing purchase. I wrote to Maison Verget but received no reply.
