Domaine Guerrin, Les Clos Vessats 2019, Saint Véran white, Burgundy, Chardonnay

Domaine Guerrin, Macon-Vergisson 2023, Les Rochers, white

Domaine Guerrin

This Macon-Vergisson is made of a Chardonnay blend from two terroirs. The first, known as “Sur La Roche”, is mainly limestone, in the form of surface scree over a subsoil of clay shale. Situated on a plateau 300 meters above sea level, the late ripening results in wines with a good sugar/acidity balance. The second plot, known as “En Bille Folland”, is on soil composed of clay from the Triassic. With much less limestone influence, it produces supple wines with breadth.This wine puts the accent on the fruit, with a lovely crispness and good minerality. The nose reveals tangy notes of very ripe lemons; in the mouth, it has a charming vigor with a refreshing side. This cuvée offers an explosion of fruits, and is a true wine for pleasure. It can be drunk at any time of day.Domaine Guerrin is really on top of their game for still affordable wines from Burgundy.

Domaine Guerrin

Respect the vine, enjoy the wine, that is the Domaine Guerrin & Fils ethos.

At the heart of a protected natural site between the Roche de Solutré and the Roche de Vergisson in southern Burgundy, just to the west of Mâcon, is the village of Vergisson where our wine estate first took root. Created in 1926, the estate already produced its own wines from the terroir today known as "The Maréchaude" or "The Crays" and today we are the 4th generation of winemakers to cultivate the land and continue this passion and rigor for the production of quality wines.

Our vines are split between more than 35 limestone plots making up a total area of 14 hectares, completing a patchwork of different soil types that offer an exceptional diversity of terroirs. This in particular gives each of our wines their truly distinctive character.

We produce three appellations in total Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Macon-Vergisson and our hands-on, artisanal approach to viticulture is guided by our constant desire to produce wines of quality and character. As we always say, respect the vine, enjoy the wine.
