New name for the "En Crazy" cuvée (taken from a nickname Robert Parker gave to Jean-Marie Guffens: Crazy Belgium) and a change of appellation for this blend of juices mainly from the young vines of "Chavigne": first pressed juices and pressings from the "Tris des Hauts de Chavigne," to which the 2008 harvest from a plot in Saint Veran was added. A very rich blend with lovely acidity and a beautiful, lingering finish. A great cuvée!

Bettane & Desseauve
5-star estate (Exceptional producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)
About the estate:
Jean-Marie Guffens has inspired many artisan winemakers in the Mâconnais region, and remains today an artist capable of producing a "simple" Mâcon wine worthy of the finest wines of the Côte d'Or, without adhering to the "terroir-caisse" system.He is a master of fractional pressing using a vertical press on very ripe grapes, a proponent of prolonged fermentation and a genius at aging. An elite taster, this outstanding winemaker continues to produce quantities on his small Mâconnais estate that are already too small to satisfy international demand.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (These represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment.)
About the estate:
Jean-Marie Guffens has mastered the art of vinifying and enhancing Chardonnay. Tasting one of his vintages, even after ten years, is always a memorable experience. He divides his time between the haute couture winemaking of this estate, managing his Verget wine merchant business, his Château des Tourettes property in the Luberon, and Château Closiot in Barsac, where he produces great dry and sweet wines when the year allows. He has revealed the potential of the best terroirs in the Mâconnais region and developed interest in them. His great wines are universally acclaimed, stand the test of time and impress. The very low yields of the 2019 vintage meant that only three wines could be produced, with the presses going into the Triangle cuvée. The estate's wines are sold en primeur. Our advice is to try your luck, while not forgetting to take an interest in the other properties of this exceptional winemaker.
