While Maison Verget is famous for its Burgundy masterpieces, Côte Bouqueyreaux is a legendary cuvée born from founder Jean-Marie Guffens' estate, Château des Tourettes, in the high-altitude hills of the Vaucluse. Crafted with the same meticulous precision and Grand Cru philosophy that Verget applies to its top Burgundy appellations, this exceptional white wine is typically made from old-vine Chardonnay planted on limestone-rich soils. Fermented and aged in oak barrels with lees contact, it defies its southern origin to deliver astonishing freshness, intense minerality, and a complex aromatic profile of citrus, white flowers, and toasted brioche, bridging the gap between southern warmth and Burgundian elegance.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1990 by the visionary winemaker Jean-Marie Guffens and his wife Maine, Maison Verget is a highly acclaimed negociant-eleveur based in Sologny within the Maconnais region of Burgundy, France. Renowned for revolutionizing white Burgundy production, the house focuses on highlighting the distinct micro-terroirs of the region, from Macon and Chablis to the Cote d'Or, alongside select ventures in the Vaucluse. By employing precise pressing techniques, custom oak and concrete aging regimens, and minimal intervention, Verget crafts expressive, mineral-driven Chardonnay and elegant Pinot Noir. Their signature expressions, such as the Grand Elevage and various single-vineyard bottlings, are celebrated globally for their tension, purity, and exceptional value.
