✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the legendary Jean-Marie Guffens, the iconoclastic 'enfant terrible' of Burgundy, the 'C.C.P.' cuvée is a masterclass in blending that defies traditional regional hierarchies. The name represents a blend of Guffens' most prestigious terroirs: the mineral-charged slopes of Chavigne in Vergisson, the Collines, and the limestone-rich plots of Pierreclos. By combining these distinct parcels, Guffens coaxes an extraordinary synergy of tension, power, and mineral depth. The winemaking employs low yields, natural yeast fermentation, and extended lees aging without battonage, resulting in a white Burgundy of spectacular energy, crystalline purity, and a textured complexity that easily rivals the famous Grand Crus of the Côte d'Or.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1979 by Belgian native Jean-Marie Guffens and his wife Lydie Heynen, Domaine Guffens-Heynen is located in the picturesque village of Vergisson in Burgundy's Mâconnais region. Widely regarded as a revolutionary visionary, Guffens transformed the reputation of southern Burgundy through uncompromising vineyard husbandry, rigorous manual selections involving multiple passes ('tries') during harvest, and precise, non-interventionist cellar practices. The domaine is world-renowned for crafting extraordinarily concentrated, mineral-rich, and age-worthy white Burgundies from iconic lieu-dits such as En Chavigne and La Roche in Pouilly-Fuissé and Mâcon-Pierreclos, regularly rivaling the finest Grand Crus of the Côte de Beaune.
