✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Crafted by the legendary rebel of Burgundy, Jean-Marie Guffens, this cuvée is a brilliant showcase of his irreverent wit and winemaking genius. The name 'Sauve Eaux' (often playfully rendered as 'Sauve-O') is a classic Guffens pun, phonetically translating to 'Save Water' (as in 'save water, drink wine') while cheekily nodding to grape varieties or stylistic profiles outside the rigid AOC framework. Released as a Vin de France, this bottling represents Guffens' ultimate freedom from bureaucratic appellation laws. Free to experiment, he applies the same obsessive, high-end white Burgundy techniques here as he does to his grandest crus: extremely low yields, natural yeast fermentations, and extended aging on the fine lees. The result is an extraordinarily tense, textured, and mineral-driven white wine that completely transcends its humble table-wine classification, delivering the power, complexity, and vibrant energy that Guffens-Heynen is famous for.

🍾 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.
