(2024) Vérizet is a brand from Cave de Viré, a co-operative of around 200 growers in the Mâcon region. This Chardonnay comes from chalky clay-limestone soils and though unoaked, a certain richness comes from up to 24 months ageing on fine lees. There's an almond and lightly honeyed sheen to ripe yellow apple fruit. In the mouth that little bit of breadth to the texture gives a chewy richness, though the fat lemony core of fruit and acidity propels the wine. Hints of nuttiness again into the gastronomic, well-balanced finish.
