Macon-Pierreclos "Le Chavigne"
You need 1200 benefit points to obtain this bottle.
Chavigne correspond à une parcelle de 3,3 hectares en haut de coteau plantée avec des vignes de Chardonnay dont l'âge varie entre 10 et 80 ans. Ce Chavigne dévoile dans une robe jaune paille assez intense et brillante. Au nez, les notes de sirop, de pêche blanche ou encore d'agrumes sont très concentrées. En bouche, la matière est généreuse, avec une belle tension et une fin de bouche fruitée et gourmande.
Le « Chavigne » fait avec des vignes un peu plus jeunes (20 ans en moyenne quand-même) est très bon, peu boisé, élevé partiellement en cuve béton, il est fait pour être consommé avant les autres. J.M Guffens
Référence absolue du Mâconnais, Jean-Marie Guffens est un surdoué bien connu pour avoir hissé ses vins blancs au niveau des plus grands crus de la Côte de Beaune.

The Estate Guffens-Heynen
The history of the Guffens-Heynen estate began in 1976 when the young couple decided to settle in the Mâconnais after living in Flanders. In 1979, Jean-Marie Guffens acquired a few plots of land to highlight what he had learned previously and let his instinct guide him
The wines were soon noticed by the greatest critics who highlighted his performances. The Guffens-Heynen "touch" was born! Jean-Marie Guffens belongs to the small circle of artist-winemakers with an innate sense of wine, his vocation is real, the wines speak for him and one can only salute the talent of the winemaker. Sensitivity, creation and passion are the characteristics of the man that we find in his precious nectars.
Today, the estate covers 5.3 hectares, including one hectare in Pouilly-Fuissé. The grapes are harvested by hand, usually in several stages to ensure perfect ripeness of the berries, which are regularly tasted before being picked. The yields are around 18 hectolitres per hectare!
In the cellar, all the stages are simplified to the maximum but carried out with the precision of a goldsmith to bring out the authenticity of the wines. The result is wines that are both pure and racy, full of minerality, reflecting their terroir of origin.
The wines of Guffens-Heynen are unquestionably great wines, the only problem being their unfortunately very limited production each year...
