Who makes it
The predecessor cooperatives of Prissé, Verzé and Sologny joined to form the current structure, with each retaining its speciality. Today, 120 member growers work approximately 900 hectares, and the facility processes about seven million bottles annually.
Solar panels meet 40% of the cooperative’s electricity needs. Some premium cuvées, including sparkling wines, may be fermented and briefly aged in older French oak barrels.
What they make
Mâcon Verzé Croix-Jarrier is a single-vineyard Chardonnay. The 2022 is focused and bright, with lemon and lime fruit, a stony, chalky mineral edge and a long, fresh finish.
