About Verget
Maison Verget is a leading negociant business, based in the Maconnais region of southern Burgundy, set up in 1990 by Jean-Marie Guffens and his wife Maine Heynen. The Verget portfolio is based largely on Chardonnay, from generic Macon-Villages all the way up to a trio of single-vineyard Pouilly-Fuiss s. Highly regarded wines from Chablis and the C te d'Or complete the Chardonnay line-up. Production is split in several ways. Along with the standard negociant wines under the Verget label, Guffens and Heynen also own their own personal estate Domaine Guffens-Heynen, also in the Maconnais, and Ch teau des Tourettes in the Luberon region in the southeast of France. The Verget range encompasses wines from various villages in the Maconnais, including Macon Vergisson, Macon Bussi res, Macon Charnay, and Saint-V ran. The use of oak varies from wine to wine and is much subtler than in earlier years. Guffens is well known as a pioneer of the use of screwcaps in France and many wines are offered in a choice of closure. Domaine Guffens-Heynen, also in the Maconnais, is the Guffens-Heynen's original winemaking project, set up in 1979 after the pair had moved from their native Belgium to learn winemaking. The estate has 5 hectares (13 acres) of vineyards, including around a hectare of Pouilly-Fuiss vines, and about the same of Saint-V ran. Yields are tiny, and the wines are fermented with natural yeasts, aged on their lees and bottled without filtration. In 1997 the couple purchased the Ch teau des Tourettes in Provence and replanted the vineyards to Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier.
