The word Vergers always reminds me of standing in the vineyard looking down to nearby Grand Cru Montrachet. The wines of Vergers, with its 50cm of red soil and underlying rock is, according to Celine, always the last to ripen and always has the highest acidity. However, it often shows beautiful ripeness reminiscent of the Grand Crus. This vintage shows great power and tension, with nice mineral notes. RANDALL POLLARD
This is the first wine to display any appreciable wood influence and even here it is discreet. There is a hint of reduction to the ripe yellow orchard fruit and flower aromas that introduce rich, full-bodied and mouth coating flavors that tighten up on the dry, clean and crisp finish. Lovely juice that is worth your attention. Outstanding. 91 Points, BURGHOUND, Feb 2011
