A trusted name from Burgundy, Verget is one of the producers we hold in particularly high regard—built on a strong, long-standing partnership. That relationship has even led to the creation of exclusive wines available only to our members.

Now overseen by the talented Julien Desplans—who had been working alongside Jean-Marie Guffens since 2016—Verget continues to champion the Burgundian style in the South of France. Their focus remains on precise, vibrant white wines with striking freshness—like this wine from the Luberon, grown on limestone-rich soils at 400 meters above sea level.
