Crafted to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Jean-Marie Guffens and Maine Heynen's legendary estate, the '30 ns' (a clever play on '30 ans') is a monumental cuvée that encapsulates three decades of revolutionary winemaking in the Mâconnais. Sourced from the domaine's finest, low-yielding Chardonnay parcels in Vergisson, this rare bottling showcases Guffens' signature style: intense concentration, vibrant acidity, and profound mineral tension. Fermented with wild yeasts and aged on its lees, it stands as a defiant testament to the heights that Mâconnais white Burgundy can achieve, rivaling the grandest crus of the Côte de Beaune.

Established in 1979 by Belgian expatriates Jean-Marie Guffens and Maine Heynen, Domaine Guffens-Heynen is a legendary estate located in Vergisson, Burgundy, France (Le Chavigne, 71960 Vergisson). Renowned for defying regional hierarchies, the domaine is celebrated for producing monumental, mineral-driven Chardonnay from historic plots like En Chavigne. Jean-Marie Guffens's uncompromising winemaking philosophy combines low yields, natural yeast fermentations, and extended lees aging to yield whites of extraordinary tension and complexity.
