Verget - Saint-Véran - Terroirs de Davayé - Blanc - 2022

Wine:

Rated 94/100 by the Committee, the 2022 white Saint-Véran Terroirs de Davayé resonates with a lovely tension and abundant freshness. In a very refined style, it is driven by a minerality that sets its pace, with notes of white flowers and citrus, and perfectly ripe fruit. The dilemma it presents is whether to drink it now or keep it!

Vinification:

Hand-harvested. A blend of juices from plots in the village of Davayé. Only first juices. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in barrels. Aged in barrels with little stirring.

Color:

Pale, bright golden yellow.

Nose:

Fragrances of white flowers underscored by fresh citrus notes.

Palate:

Fresh and taut, with crunchy aromas of fruit, this cuvée reveals its purity and minerality.

Temperature:

Serve between 10 and 12°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Jambonnettes of frogs with parsley sauce, goujonnettes of snacked sole, fillets of sole or other fish meunière or beurre blanc, a warm pike soufflé.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2030, and even longer for enthusiasts.

Verget, a trusted name in Burgundy, ranks among the addresses we particularly cherish and with whom we've established strong ties. We've even gone as far as creating custom cuvées, blended by Olivier Poussier, the World's Best Sommelier, exclusively reserved for our members.

Now overseen by the excellent Julien Desplans, who has been making selections since 2016 in the spirit of Jean-Marie Guffens, Verget continues to uphold the Burgundian style, boasting whites with defined, sleek, and very fresh profiles, and equally successful reds that are fruit-forward.
