"With a hint of chalk, Vergisson rock presents itself in the glass, with a creamy touch of wood. On the palate, the flavors unfold: a smooth, dry juice that lingers endlessly." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 - RVF)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About wine:
Golden in color with a fresh mushroom aroma, it imposes itself in all its dimension and freshness. However, it needs time to develop.
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.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 17,5/20 (Great wine)
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 wine:
With a chalky brightness, Vergisson rock presents itself in a glass, with a creamy touch of woodiness. On the palate, the flavors unfold: a smooth, dry juice that lingers endlessly.
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.
