Verget Mâcon-Pierreclos En Tremblay

A lieu-dit of the great Mâcon-Pierreclos, En Tremblay is located at the highest part of the village of Pierreclos, on the clay plateau carpeted by countless pierrailles or small stones. Only the old vines were selected this year, and the wine was raised in 20% new wood.

Juicy and comparatively forward in style, expect quince and vine peach notes before an impressive core of crunchy fruit and flecks of baking spices bolstering the long, tangy and fine finish. Guffens prefers this vintage to his 2021, noting a pleasant level of reduction and almost tannic structure that will pair well at the table.

“The 2022 Mâcon-Pierreclos En Tremblay retains a cool profile despite the warm vintage, delivering notes of pear, clear honey, orange oil and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise palate, concluding with a saline finish.”
