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.
