Crafted by the iconoclastic Jean-Marie Guffens, 'Les Trois C.' is a brilliant testament to his rebellious genius and masterly blending skills. This rare cuvée brings together Chardonnay from three of the estate's prized plots starting with the letter 'C' (including the legendary En Chavigne in Vergisson). Rather than conforming to rigid single-vineyard designations, Guffens blends these distinct terroirs to achieve a spectacular synergy of richness, vibrant acidity, and intense limestone minerality. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on its fine lees, the wine showcases the signature Guffens style: power married to breathtaking tension, with notes of citrus oil, white peach, crushed stones, and subtle toasted spice.

Established in 1979 by Belgian expatriates Jean-Marie Guffens and Maine Heynen, Domaine Guffens-Heynen is a legendary estate located in Vergisson, Burgundy, France (Le Chavigne, 71960 Vergisson). Renowned for defying regional hierarchies, the domaine is celebrated for producing monumental, mineral-driven Chardonnay from historic plots like En Chavigne. Jean-Marie Guffens's uncompromising winemaking philosophy combines low yields, natural yeast fermentations, and extended lees aging to yield whites of extraordinary tension and complexity.
