Domaine Guffens-Heynen - Burgundy: Young Vines and First Pressings 2009

Domaine Guffens-Heynen - Bourgogne Jeunes Vignes et Derniers Jus 2009

Bourgogne|White wine

3.6/5 (7 customers)

All of the estate’s 2009 wines are of exceptional quality. The vintage is indeed rich and ripe, yet without resembling the 2003. The wines have sufficient acidity to express their minerality. Without any exotic notes, they are full-bodied and long-finishing, just waiting to reveal their full potential with time. This Burgundy“Jeunes Vignes et Derniers Jus” comes from a young vineyard in Saint-Véran and the presses at Chavigne, aged half in barrels and half in tanks. A truly delicious wine!

5-Star Estate (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the estate:

While he has inspired many artisan winemakers in the Mâconnais region, Jean-Marie Guffens remains, even today, the master craftsman capable of producing a "simple" Mâcon worthy of the finest wines of the Côte d'Or, without succumbing to the "terroir-for-profit" system.He is a master of fractional pressing using a vertical press on very ripe grapes, a proponent of extended fermentation, and a genius of aging; an elite taster, this unparalleled winemaker continues to produce on his small Mâconnais estate quantities that are already too limited to meet international demand.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)

About the estate:

Jean-Marie Guffens has mastered the art of winemaking and bringing out the best in Chardonnay. Tasting one of his vintages, even after ten years, is always a special experience. He divides his time between the haute couture winemaking at this estate, managing his Verget wine merchant business, his property Château des Tourettes in the Luberon, and Château Closiot in Barsac, where he produces great dry and sweet wines when the vintage permits. He has revealed the potential of the best terroirs in the Mâconnais region and sparked interest in them. His great wines are universally acclaimed, stand the test of time, and leave a lasting impression. The very low yields of the 2019 vintage allowed for the production of only three wines; the pressings will be included in the Triangle cuvée. The estate’s wines are sold en primeur. Our advice is to take a chance on them while also exploring the other properties of this exceptional winemaker.
