Lot of older Verget for sale on the WB! I have had really good luck with Verget…when I was first bitten by the Burg(white) Bug, I found Verget locally, and enjoyed a bunch of village Meursault and St Veran…which made me seek out more on WB…and have had some killer 1994’s Meursault/Batard/Charmes…1994/2004 MdT Chablis…05 St Veran/Meursault village…as well as other stuff. I know that they are poster child for the POX…especially in 96…and I think there was a run in with the law at one point? I have always found their wines to be terroir correct and thoroughly enjoyable…and have never really had a bad bottle. The color on those bottles from WB don’t look too appetizing either? But that may be deceiving. SO…what are your thoughts on the wines from VERGET? Are they defunct now, as there doesn’t seem to be any of the esteemed wines being produced anymore?
I didn’t buy or drink much Verget back in the day, but I did buy a bottle of the '95 Valmur based on the Rovani “tears” review and my LWS having it at a nice price. Of course now we like to make fun of such things, but I have to say it was pretty spectacular when we had it in 2009, albeit no tears were shed.
Looks like WINEBID is not allowing us to link wines here from their site???

My vague memories were that Verget was the king of premox, even before 1996.I do know a couple of bottles that were in mixed lot auction buys were totally shot.
I do not know the wines. However, when wines which people like get dumped at good prices onto WineBid, they should enjoy the shooting-fish-in-a-barrel session.
Recently went 1 for 2 on 1996 Verget Bougros. Even when sound it’s a good not great bottle of wine. Won’t be buying again at any price, not when I’m happy to drink young Louis Michel in its place for $35 a pop
Still exists AFAIK, but don’t see them around either. As you probably know, it’s the negoce label of Jean-Marie Guffens-Heynen (Verget - Verget SAS). FYI he is on Instagram and regularly posts - also has quite an outspoken opinion so interesting to follow. I am under the impression his wines (ie his estate wines under the name Guffens-Heynen) are starting to get more attention again, which is a good thing, as they are certainly unique and can age.
I bought a lot of late 90s vintages of Verget whites back in the day from Premier Cru. While prices were attractive results were mixed, whether it was premox, poor transport/storage, or otherwise. FWIW I’d want to see back labels for the Winebid items.
I would echo the premox concerns. In the late 1990s, I had satisfying bottles of young Verget whites – St. Romain and Macon-Villages – but everything that I kept for 5 years or more past the vintage date was undrinkable.
