✨ Tekniske specifikationer

The 'Premiers Tri' (first sorting/pass) is a testament to Jean-Marie Guffens' obsessive and revolutionary approach to harvesting in the Mconnais. Rather than harvesting entire plots at once, Guffens famously conducts multiple passes ('tris') through his vineyards, specifically targeting only the most perfectly ripe, golden grapes—sometimes even touched by noble rot—for this elite bottling. Sourced primarily from the steep, limestone-rich slopes of Vergisson and Pierreclos, this Chardonnay defies the traditional Burgundian hierarchy. It delivers an astonishingly concentrated, rich, and multi-layered profile, balanced by a searing, saline minerality that rivals the Grand Crus of the Cte de Beaune. It is a legendary cuv that showcases the absolute pinnacle of what meticulous artisanal viticulture can achieve in southern Burgundy.

🍾 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.
