✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Chavigne Tri 25 ans' is a legendary, ultra-rare cuvée from Domaine Guffens-Heynen, crafted to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jean-Marie Guffens and Maine Heynen's winemaking journey in Vergisson. Sourced from the iconic 'En Chavigne' vineyard—a steep, high-altitude plot of limestone and clay—this wine is produced through painstaking 'tries' (successive selective harvests) to capture only the most perfectly ripe, concentrated Chardonnay grapes. Jean-Marie Guffens, renowned for his rebellious spirit and refusal to conform to traditional Burgundian hierarchies, utilized natural yeast fermentation and extended lees aging to create a white wine of monumental power, rich texture, and piercing mineral acidity that famously rivals the finest Grand Crus of the Côte de Beaune.
🍾 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.
