Mâcon-Vergisson at its most precise. Eric Forest farms 4.8 hectares of old vines around Vergisson, including parcels on the dramatic limestone rock that gives this cuvée its name. Sur la Roche is just what it sounds like — Chardonnay grown on the bony, sun-warmed limestone outcrop above the village — and the result punches well above its Mâcon-Villages status. There's the lemon-crystal cut and chalk-dust mineral you'd expect from Forest, but with the friendly, juicy mid-palate of a great Mâconnais white: poached pear, salted almond, a whiff of orchard blossom. Forest belongs to the new wave of Mâconnais growers producing whites with Côte d'Or-level precision at very fair Mâcon prices. A weeknight ringer that can hold its own at a serious table.

More about Eric Forest

Eric Forest makes Pouilly-Fuissé and Mâcon with the kind of cut and salinity that makes people rethink the southern end of Burgundy. He works from Vergisson, the village beneath the great limestone rock that looms over the Mâconnais, and many of his best parcels cling to its slopes.

The domaine has passed from father to son for eight generations. Eric's grandfather André planted some of the vines, his father Michel farmed them, and Eric took over in 1999. The parcels date from 1930 to 1979 and sit on limestone in its many forms: scree over blue marl in Les Crays, clay over fractured limestone in Sur la Roche, marl and clay over bedrock elsewhere. All the work is done by hand, the soils are tilled to keep weeds in check, and short pruning keeps spraying to a minimum.

In the cellar the grapes are gently pressed and the wines spend 12 to 18 months on their lees in oak before Eric bottles them himself by gravity, often unfiltered. The range runs from Mâcon-Vergisson, Saint-Véran and a Mâcon-Pierreclos monopole up to single-site Pouilly-Fuissés such as La Roche and Les Crays, plus L'Âme Forest, a blend of cooler sites. Expect mineral, saline Chardonnay with citrus and real precision, built to age rather than to flatter.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Reach for it with roast chicken, grilled trout, simply prepared shellfish, creamy chèvre, fettuccine with mushrooms, or a Salade Lyonnaise. Cocktail-hour-friendly with a bowl of marcona almonds.

Tasting Profile

Crystalline and chalky. Lemon curd, poached pear, white blossom and salted almond meet a stony, slightly saline mineral core. Bright acidity, a fleshy mid-palate, and a clean, lingering finish.
