Maison Verget

Maison Verget is a Burgundy wine merchant now owned by two passionate individuals. Nothing seemed to predispose Maine and Jean-Marie Guffens-Heynen, originally from Flanders, to create a winery that would, within a few years and through hard work, become one of the most renowned in the world for the quality of its wines—except, perhaps, a shared passion for vineyards and wine and a particularly creative artistic sensibility.

This talented duo is also deeply involved in the future of Maison Verget, a small wine merchant in the heart of the Mâconnais region, which enjoys equal success as its wines demonstrate elegance and finesse and, more than any others, capture the true essence of the terroir. Maison Verget’s mission is to reveal the full character of its appellations by highlighting their terroirs. This approach has been successfully implemented for some time now in the Chablis and Côte d’Or appellations. But it is in the Mâconnais—historically a producer of generic wines—that this approach truly comes into its own. It is there that the Verget House produces the greatest variety of wines for each appellation. This approach allows one to discover all the aspects, all the nuances—in short, all the subtleties—of a single appellation. Through its original approach, theVerget House has become a laboratory of terroirs and a creator of “climats.”
