Mâcon Pierreclos Lieu Secret 2024, Verget
£27.95 per bottle
ABV 13.0%
Julian Desplans (wine maker and right-hand man of Jean-Marie Guffens) says that the 2024 Verget wines have both minerality and power. Picked from September 10th to 28th. They are reminiscent of the 2010 and 2014 vintages.
The 2024 Mâcon-Pierreclos Lieu Sécret is another standout in the range from this south-facing plot. Offering up aromas of peach, freshly baked bread, white flowers and toasted nuts, it's medium- to full-bodied, lively and chalky, with good cut and depth. Drink 2025-2035.
