The Expression of a Haute Couture Négociant House in Burgundy by Maison Verget

The estate

Founded in 1990 in Sologny by Jean-Marie Guffens and Maine Heynen, Verget stands out as a haute couture négociant house in the heart of Burgundy. Dedicated to showcasing the terroirs of the Mâconnais, the house is distinguished by its absolute commitment to excellence, purchasing high-quality grapes that are vinified in its own winery. Now chaired by JMG Holding, the estate is managed technically and operationally by Julien Desplans, Managing Director. A true laboratory of climats, Verget reveals with precision and passion the singularity of each plot.

The vineyard

This Saint-Véran comes from rigorously selected plots in the village of Davayé. It blends two complementary climats: Les Terres Noires, made up of old vines that bring richness, and the former cadastral lieu-dit Côte Rotie, which imparts great minerality. The vines flourish on ideally exposed limestone slopes, cultivated using a sustainable approach inspired by organic principles, which promotes harmonious ripening of the berries.

Winemaking and ageing

The production of the Saint-Véran Village "Lieu (Inter)Dit" 2025 relies on hand-harvesting and rigorous sorting. To preserve maximum purity, only the free-run juice is kept during a precise pressing. The wine is then carefully aged for around seven months in oak barrels, including a proportion of new wood, which lends it structure and complexity without masking the identity of its terroir.

Grape variety

100% Chardonnay.
