VERGET BOURGOGNE, FRANCE

The philosophy of the house can be summarized in one simple phrase: “The best wine is made using the best grapes.” Thus, it is the best vineyards and best terroirs that are sought to produce wines of quality. The purpose of Verget is to reveal the character of their names by revealing their land. The views of winemaker Jean-Marie Guffens have been described as being perhaps more forcefully expressed than diplomatically shared, and he is recognized as someone who has initiated important discussions in the region of Burgundy. He is also regarded as someone who has always been ready to put his words into actions. The result is some of the most inspirational wine to come out of Burgundy in recent years.
