Working since 2004
The hot year that moved our whole cellar after dark.
Nuit Verger began during a record-hot vintage when the crew moved harvest to midnight and discovered fruit with an entirely different pulse.

The hot year that moved our whole cellar after dark.
Nuit Verger began during a record-hot vintage when the crew moved harvest to midnight and discovered fruit with an entirely different pulse.
The night shift became permanent, as did the long communal breakfast served when the last bins reach the cellar.
“Darkness is not a style. It is the condition that lets us keep the wine bright.”
The cellar moved to smaller lots and slower decisions.
Direct releases began with one shared table.
The current chapter opened around place, craft, and welcome.
