This year’s Grand Élevage is drawn mainly from the village of Péronne between Viré and Azé, with a complement from Mâcon-Pierreclos. This wine was vinified entirely in oak, with 15% new barrels. Raised for eight months on its lees, it’s a compelling Bourgogne for the price. Inviting and aromatic, it opens with juicy yellow orchard fruits lifted by notes of lemon, stone and white flowers. The palate is lithe and detailed with fleshy fruits, underscored by mouthwatering freshness and a nip of phenolics. Fine length, too. According to winemaker Julien Desplans, the 2022 “is certainly one of the best Bourgogne-level wines we have produced at Verget.” We’re not going to disagree.

Reviews

“The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc Grand Élevage shows promise, delivering scents of pear, orange zest, toasted nuts and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, rich and satiny palate that's attractively pure and precise.”
88 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
"The 2022 Bourgogne Grand Élevage is a blend of two parcels, the free-run juice of Mâcon-Perone and Mâcon-Charnay, both on clay soils with low-yielding old vines. Matured in 15% new oak, it has a well-defined bouquet with peach skin and light beeswax aromas. The palate is taut and fresh with fine acidity. Red apples mix with yellow fruit, sedate and elegant, on the finish. The 2022 is fine, early-drinking fare.”
