Verget au Sud Vin de France Chardonnay 2022

This wine comes from a number of vineyards in Luberon, the high country of Provence nestled between the Alpes de Haute Provence and the Vaucluse plain. For the most part, the wines fermented and aged in old oak barrels on fine lees for eight months. The result is a creamy-textured provençal white with subtle stone fruit and herby notes that speak of the south. There’s some rich, rolling fruit for those who like their Chardonnay with something to hang on to, but also plenty of the classic Guffens purity, drive and rocky freshness. Value plus.
