✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Born from the rebellious spirit of Jean-Marie Guffens, this wine represents a brilliant Burgundian intervention in the sun-drenched terroirs of the Vaucluse. At his southern estate, Château des Tourettes, Guffens applied his legendary, uncompromising white winemaking techniques to high-altitude limestone vineyards. 'White Indeed' was created as a defiant statement to critics who believed world-class, mineral-driven whites could not be crafted in the warm climate of the Luberon. By utilizing cool night harvests, natural yeast fermentations, and meticulous lees contact, Guffens succeeded in capturing an extraordinary tension. The wine delivers a fascinating dialogue between southern ripeness and a chiseled, saline acidity reminiscent of Burgundy's finest slopes.
🍾 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.
