✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Domaine Guffens-Heynen, established in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy, is synonymous with a winemaking revolution. Jean-Marie Guffens, often described as an iconoclast and a genius, set out to prove that the limestone-rich soils of Vergisson could yield white wines rivaling the legendary Grand Crus of the Côte de Beaune. This profile of the estate's white wines reflects their signature style: power married to intense, vibrating minerality. Sourced from meticulously farmed, low-yielding Chardonnay vineyards, the grapes undergo natural yeast fermentation and extended aging on their fine lees. The resulting wines are celebrated for their extraordinary tension, rich texture, and a profound, stony salinity that captures the dramatic terroir of the Roche de Vergisson.
🍾 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.
