| Community Tasting Notes (average 92 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by fclarity on 8/14/2021 & rated 94 points: From a bottle purchased on release, this wine had a gold center and clear rims. The nose was pretty mellow at first but after a few hours it showed pear, citrus, white stone, and some custard notes.
In the mouth, this wine was rich but did not show much flavor at first. After a few hours it really broadened out to display its crisp integrated acidity and stony finish.
This was a lovely wine that is pretty much at the peak of its charms. Enjoy over the next 5 years.

| Verget Producer website
Jean-Marie Guffens founded Verget with a fellow Belgian who was a customer of his, Jean Rijckaert (the name originally stood for 'Vins d'Établissements Rijckaert Guffens...' - it never was clear where the 'et' came from). From the moment that Jean-Marie arrived in the Mâconnais his incredible drive inspired many of the local young vignerons to try for a level of quality that had never occurred to them before, and Jean-Marie's close contacts with many of these growers have allowed him to source some of the very best fruit for Verget. His views, always forcefully expressed (and often more forcefully than diplomatically), may not have found universal favour, but they certainly provoked a level of discussion that had never existed before, and he was always ready to put his words into actions. Not every wine Jean-Marie has ever made has proved an absolute success, but if you are trying to push the boundaries all the time, it is inevitable that sometimes you will overstep the mark. He has undoubtedly been responsible for some of the most inspirational wines to come from Burgundy in recent years.

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
