Mâcon-Pierreclos
The Mâcon-Pierreclos appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) is a communal appellation in the Saône-et-Loire department, distinguished within the regional appellation. Recognized in 1937, the Mâcon-Pierreclos AOC covers the commune of Pierreclos to the east of Mâcon.

The vineyards of Mâcon-Pierreclos benefit from calcareous or calcareous brown soils, superficial or deep, clayey or sandy, often mixed with silica pebbles. Mâcon-Pierreclos vines are planted at altitudes of between 100 and 400 meters. The Mâcon region enjoys a semi-continental climate with a Mediterranean influence.

The grape varieties used for Mâcon-Pierreclos wines are Chardonnay for white wines, Gamay noir à jus blanc (the region is close to Beaujolais) and Pinot Noir for red wines. Domaine Guffens-Heynen offers a more than pleasant overview of the Mâcon-Pierreclos appellation.

Domaine Guffens-Heynen - Mâcon-Pierreclos Tri de Chavigne 2018

zucchini stuffed with brocciu

"The 2018 Mâcon-Pierreclos Tri de Chavigne reveals itself brilliantly, relaxing in the glass with notes of citrus oil, crisp Anjou pear, blanched almonds, white flowers and nutmeg. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's strikingly intense, with an elegant textural attack and racy acidity. Still tightly wound after its recent bottling, this wine has a long and glorious future ahead of it. This cuvée was made from three harvests spread over 12 days at the high-altitude farms of Guffens au Chavigne, and aged in barrels, of which around 30% were new."

"A great level

"Complex aromas, and on the palate, one wonders how Chardonnay in the Mâconnais region can produce such a high-quality beverage. It's a concentrate of sunshine and candied citrus, carried by the acidity of the vintage. A great wine". (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve). - Limited quantities available.

Domaine Guffens-Heynen - Mâcon-Pierreclos En Crazy 2016

88/100 Robert Parker

"Notes of honeyed peach, tangerine oil and white flowers present the 2016 Mâcon-Pierreclos En Crazy. It's a medium-bodied, satiny, open wine that's expressive and easy to enjoy. Between first juices from young vines and second presses from older vines, this produces Guffens' finest cuvée of Mâcon-Pierreclos. En Crazy is best enjoyed young." (Wine Advocate Rober Parker 2018)
