2005 Verget MACON-CHARNAY "Les Clos St-Pierre" (Burgundy, France)


Yet another terrific 2005 from Verget. This unoaked Chardonnay was round, minerally, vibrant, complex.


Crystal clear, almost luminescent light gold with greenish glints. Interesting and complex nose of creamed crushed stones, and spiced pear juice. Round and flavorful, with bright acidity and a nice, insistent but subtle minerality over dry pear and apply fruit. Long finish. Refreshing and satisfying. 89. Was $18.46 at Spec's on Smith.
