TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

The 2018 Chablis Cuvée de la Butte is a success, revealing pretty aromas of citrus oil, grapefruit, white flowers and oyster jus. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample but stony, with racy acids and a saline finish. William Kelley - Wine Advocate

This cracking villages bottling comes from a parcel of vines located close to the 1er Cru Les Butteaux (prompting the cheeky name which literally translates to “wine of the hill”). These vines are situated on a sudden slope with very chalky soil, rich in white clay. As with each of Verget’s Chablis wines, only the free run juices were vinified, in this case, 95% in the domaine’s bespoke horizontal stainless-steel tanks and 5% in barrel. The wine was bottled after seven months on lees. Importer note

Producer

Verget

The négociant Verget was formed in 1990, long before buying-in grapes became respectable in Burgundy. Aided in the early years by fellow Belgian Jean Rijckaert, and by neighbouring wine producer Olivier Merlin who is unstinting in his praise for Guffens’ tasting abilities, under the Verget label Guffens was quickly also making remarkably fine Maconnais wines that belied their lowly appellations before adding a panoply of wines from grapes bought in Chablis.
