Style
Paul Goerg works primarily with Chardonnay from Vertus, the largest premier cru of the Côte des Blancs. The range leans on blanc de blancs cuvées with the chalky precision typical of the slope, complemented by Pinot Noir-inflected blends. The wines target a balance of vivid citrus fruit, fine mousse and chalk-driven length.
History
Paul Goerg is the bottling label of a cooperative of growers headquartered in Vertus. Like other CM (coopérateur-manipulant) brands, the cuvées are vinified collectively from member-grower fruit and released under the Paul Goerg name, allowing small Côte des Blancs vignerons to share access to a finished-wine label without operating individual maisons.
