The 'Tri 25 ans' is a legendary, mythical bottling from Jean-Marie Guffens, created to mark his 25th vintage of winemaking. Crafted primarily from the steep, limestone-rich slopes of Pierreclos, this cuvée showcases Guffens' extreme, uncompromising methodology. The name 'Tri' refers to the meticulous, successive passes through the vineyards to harvest only the most perfectly ripe—and occasionally botrytis-affected—Chardonnay grapes, a technique far more common in Sauternes than in Burgundy. This painstaking selection results in a white wine of monumental concentration, combining opulent texture, exotic fruit notes, and a searing, mineral-etched acidity that allows it to rival the finest Grand Crus of the Côte de Beaune.

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.
