A cornerstone in Burgundy, Verget is among the houses we hold in high regard, having forged strong ties with them over the years. Such is the depth of our relationship that we've crafted bespoke cuvées, assembled by the Best Sommelier in the World, Olivier Poussier, that is exclusively reserved for our members.


Today, under the capable guidance of the talented Julien Desplans, and following in the footsteps of Jean-Marie Guffens who had been making decisions for the house since 2016, Verget continues to champion the Burgundian style in the south of France. They produce whites with defined, slender, and fresh profiles, and equally impressive reds that are fruit-forward.
