Macon-Vergisson

Indulge in the Mâcon-Vergisson wines, akin to their Mâcon-Solutré-Pouilly counterparts, boasting a distinct yellow-gold hue. Discover sophisticated aromas with hints of lemon and citrus blossom, devoid of any greenness, complemented by notes of candied fruit reminiscent of acidulated candy. The forthright palate suggests a saline finish, confirmed through scent..

Situated in the heart of the escarpments of southern Mâconnais, the Mâcon-Vergisson AOC vines grace the rounded hilltop of the Rock of Vergisson, on the outskirts of Prissé and the Saint-Véran appellation. While Vergisson may be less famous than Solutré, its visibility from the main freeway and the striking red rock against the horizon make it noteworthy.

The lively tongue of this wine pairs excellently with appetizers like creamy leek tart or risotto verrine. Its acidulated structure complements parsley butter in razor fish à la plancha, gratinated oysters, or garlic butter-cooked snails. Serving temperatures range from 10-11°C as an aperitif to 11-12°C with food.
