The estate

Founded in the late 1980s by Jean-Marie Guffens and his wife Maine Heynen, Maison Verget has established itself as an essential signature in Burgundy. Based in Vergisson, at the heart of the Mâconnais, the estate stands out for its "haute couture négoce" approach. Still led by Jean-Marie Guffens, the house showcases meticulously selected grapes sourced from partner winegrowers. A true laboratory of terroirs, Verget reveals with the precision of a goldsmith all the richness and diversity of the Burgundian climats through cuvées of remarkable quality.

The vineyard

This wine comes from the prestigious "Sur la Roche" climat, classified as a premier cru within the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. Located in the commune of Vergisson, this high-altitude terroir peaks between 300 and 390 metres on slopes ranging from 12 to 15%. The vines thrive on shallow brown soils resting on a bedrock of hard Jurassic limestone. The privileged east and south exposure ensures ideal morning sunshine, promoting optimal ripening of the berries while preserving lovely freshness.

Winemaking and ageing

Although the specific technical choices for the Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru "Sur la Roche" 2025 have not yet been documented, Maison Verget usually crafts this wine from the pure first press juices.
