Chablis Premier Cru AOC

Intensity
This Chablis Premier Cru owes its name to the very small premier cru lieu-dit in which it is produced: "Vaillons". These old vines are now more than fifty years old, with a yield of around 25 hl/ha. In the winery, the first juices are vinified in barrels. Élevage is performed in concrete tanks on fine lees for 7 months. The wine is deliciously scented, with fruity aromas (pear, apple) and smoky notes. In the mouth, the wine unfolds with body and power, characterised by an arresting minerality.
About the Producer Verget
The brilliant wine-maker Jean-Marie Guffens is behind Maison Verget which produces wines from grapes sourced across Burgundy but predominately from Mâconnais. This company created in 1990 in Sologny brings together all the wines of the trading business, with a superb range of appellations, from Chablis to Mâconnais, to highlight the specificities and nuances of each terroir.
The wines have acquired a solid reputation for their diamond-polished characteristics which are always very pure as well as being both rich and taut at the same time. The grapes are sourced from exemplary partner wineries and the winemaking and maturation processes are conduction with the same precision. A safe bet in Burgundy, Jean-Marie Guffens-Heynen is a Master in the art of Chardonnay. Since 2012, the brilliant oenologist Julien Desplans has joined him as a cellar master. Trained at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, he takes the company to new heights, helping it win the award “Trading Business of the Year” in 2020 from the French wine magazine La Revue du vin de France.
