Don’t Miss! Guffens-Heynen 2019, 95pts William Kelley, "hyper-concentrated"
A serious challenger to any top Chardonnay winemakers in the world, Guffens-Heyen – now becoming a top rising star to follow - has been producing stunning Chardonnay in Mâconnais for many years.
The domaine was established in late 1970s by Jean-Marie Guffens and Maine Heynen, and their wines are hard for Burgundy lovers to follow as many of their wines only appeared in one or two vintages. There isn’t any secret to making fantastic wines by Jean-Marie Guffens - many of the vines are managed in very low yields, grapes are harvested in very small parcels separately to ensure the grapes achieves full ripeness and multiple passages through the same vineyard are made to ensure the best quality of the wines. Wine critics, William Kelley and Jancis Robinson are not shy to show their appreciation to Guffens-Heynen’s wines -
“Domaine Guffens-Heynen is one of the great domaines of Burgundy. Ample but incisive, concentrated but weightless, Guffens's wines represent the apotheosis of a grape and a place” – William Kelley, Wine Advocate
“The wines of Guffens-Heynen have for years been giving top-quality Côte d'Or white burgundy a run for their money. I have been given Guffens wine in their teens or more blind alongside Meursaults and Pulignys of the same age and preferred the former.” – Jancis Robinson
Macon-Pierreclos Premier Jus de Chavigne is one of the star cuvees from Guffens-Heynen which received an outstanding 95 points from Wine Advocate’s William Kelley, this is certainly a “Grand Cru” with extraordinary structure, concentration, and energy.

The 2019 Mâcon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne is performing superbly in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of orange oil, citrus zest, warm toast and pear. Medium to full-bodied, immensely concentrated and complete, it's seamless and penetrating, underpinned by a tangy spine of acidity and concluding with a long, saline finish. This 2019 combines the cut of a vintage such as 2017 with the hyper-concentrated, almost "passerillé" style of a year such as 2015—a rare combination that should age prodigiously well.
