2002 Maison Verget Chablis Les Fourneaux 1er Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY /
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 89
($33-$45) Superripe aromas of orchard fruits, spiced apple and honey. Fat, lush and sweet. Offers good purity of flavor but seems more impressive as chardonnay than Chablis . I don't find the cut of the best 2002 examples. But this is sweet and pure.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: July/August 2004Wine Advocate | Rating: 91
The 2002 Chablis Les Fourneaux displays aromas of minerals and quartz. Light to medium-bodied, lively yet broad and ample, this spicy, mineral-laden wine is deep, concentrated, and nuanced. Projected maturity: 2006-2013.Author: Pierre RovaniRating: 87
Floral and slightly vegetal aromas lead to bright and crisp flavors that lack the freshness of the best examples here. Acceptable but not distinguished.Issue: 4th Quarter, 2003
When he created Verget in 1990, Jean-Marie Guffens applied the very same rules as for his own production. Verget's philosophy can be summed up in one simple sentence: "the best wine comes from the best grapes." This elementary saying is the corner stone of Verget. Thus, whether in Maconnais, Chablis or Cote d'Or, the best vineyards and best terroirs are selected to produce quality wines.
