✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 'Tris' cuvées from Domaine Guffens-Heynen represent the pinnacle of Jean-Marie Guffens' iconoclastic approach to winemaking in the Mâconnais. The term 'tris' refers to the meticulous, successive passes through the vineyard during harvest—a technique famously used in Sauternes but exceedingly rare for dry Burgundy. By harvesting only the most perfectly ripe, golden, and occasionally botrytized Chardonnay grapes from his high-altitude parcels in Vergisson, Guffens crafts a wine of astonishing concentration and complexity. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on its lees, this rare cuvée defies regional hierarchies, offering a majestic, texturally rich, and intensely mineral expression of Chardonnay that routinely rivals the Grand Crus of the Côte de Beaune.
🍾 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.
