✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by the iconoclastic Jean-Marie Guffens, 'En Crazy' is a testament to his reputation as the 'mad genius' of the Mâconnais. Sourced from uniquely challenging, steeply sloped parcels in Pierreclos, this cuvée captures the extreme viticultural philosophy of Domaine Guffens-Heynen. Guffens famously embraces risks that others avoid, utilizing ultra-low yields, wild yeast fermentations, and precise oak aging to coax incredible power and mineral tension from the Chardonnay grape. The name itself is a playful nod to both the daring nature of cultivating these demanding slopes and Guffens' own eccentric, boundary-pushing personality. The resulting wine is a masterclass in contrast—unapologetically rich and concentrated, yet driven by a piercing, saline minerality and electric acidity that keeps it remarkably vibrant.
🍾 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.
