Verget’s 2007 Macon-Villages is a tribute to Jean-Marie Guffens’ skill in pulling surprising character and concentration from a simple appellation and a generally easy-going, high yielding vintage. Aromas of pear, apple, honeysuckle, and vanilla lead to a surprisingly creamy and expansive yet generously juicy palate, and a highly satisfying finish featuring subtly bitter notes of citrus peel and vanilla, and distinct chalk. This hasn’t much stamina from the open bottle, and I would plan to drink it up over the next six months, which is Guffens’ intent.
