FEATURES
The 1995 Verget Meursault Casse-Têtes is a white Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune, made from Chardonnay grapes. Verget, founded in 1990 by Jean-Marie Guffens-Heynen, is known for its meticulous grape sourcing and a philosophy that emphasizes the best wine comes from the best grapes. The name 'Casse-Têtes' refers to the hard, pebbly limestone soil of the plot, which was challenging for ancestors to plant vines on. This wine is aged for 12 months, typically with about 20% new barrels. The 1995 vintage for Burgundy Grand Crus, particularly whites, showed impressive clarity, freshness, and energy, with good balance and length.
