✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 'Cuvée Unique' bottlings by Jean-Marie Guffens represent the pinnacle of his idiosyncratic, uncompromising approach to winemaking in the Mâconnais. Rather than adhering strictly to traditional parcel boundaries, Guffens occasionally crafts these special cuvées from exceptional pressings or specific barrel selections—often from his prized old-vine holdings in Pierreclos or Vergisson—that exhibit extraordinary concentration and character. Known as the enfant terrible of Burgundy, Guffens revolutionized the region by proving that the Mâconnais could produce white wines of Grand Cru complexity. These wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on their fine lees, resulting in a dramatic interplay of opulent stone fruit, intense limestone minerality, and a signature electric acidity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Domaine Guffens-Heynen blev grundlagt i 1979 af det belgiske ægtepar Jean-Marie Guffens og Lydie Heynen og har hjemme i den maleriske landsby Vergisson i Mâconnais i Bourgogne. Jean-Marie Guffens er bredt anerkendt som en revolutionerende visionær, der forvandlede det sydlige Bourgognes omdømme gennem et kompromisløst markarbejde, streng manuel selektering i flere omgange ('tries') under høsten og et præcist, minimalistisk arbejde i vinkælderen. Vingården er verdenskendt for at skabe ekstraordinært koncentrerede, mineralske og lagringsværdige hvide bourgogner fra ikoniske lieu-dits som En Chavigne og La Roche i Pouilly-Fuissé samt Mâcon-Pierreclos – vine, der jævnligt måler sig med de ypperste Grand Crus fra Côte de Beaune.
