Domaine Guffens-Heynen
After Jean-Marie had studied viticulture and Maine had worked for the village winegrowers, they became managers of a small estate in the Mâconnais region and learned to work the vines. In 1979, they acquired a few plots of vines on the heights of Pierreclos. Enthusiastic, but novices, they made up for their lack of experience with an almost instinctive approach to vines and wine. An outstanding winemaker and breeder, Jean-Marie Guffens-Heynen delivers rare vintages of widely acclaimed elegance and uncommon consistency.
This talented duo is also involved in the destiny of Maison Verget, a small trading house in the heart of the Mâcon region, which is equally successful, so much so that its wines demonstrate elegance and finesse, and know how to convey, more than any other, expressions that are as close to the terroir as possible.

Domaine Guffens-Heynen - Mâcon-Pierreclos Tri de Chavigne 2018
93+/100 Robert Parker
-
89-91/100 Burghound
"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." (Wine Advocate 2020) - Attention, limited quantities!

91/100 Burghound
"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 - Saint-Véran Cuvée Unique 2013
17,5/20 RVF
-
90/100 Robert Parker
"A very pure Chardonnay, with a ripe, honeysuckle nose. The vintage has been criticized, but here it shows fine balance, the result of a very ripe harvest. The woodiness is mellow, giving fine toasty aspects that lengthen the wine's persistence. A great gastronomic wine" (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF)
Domaine Guffens-Heynen - Mâcon-Pierreclos En Crazy 2016
5/5 (1 review)
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)
Domaine Guffens-Heynen - Bourgogne Jeunes Vignes et Derniers Jus 2009
3.6/5 (7 reviews)
All the estate's 2009s are of the highest quality. The vintage is rich and ripe, without resembling 2003. The wines have sufficient acidity to express their minerality. Without exoticism, they are fat and long, and only need time to express themselves. This Bourgogne "Jeunes Vignes et Derniers Jus " comes from a young Saint-Véran vineyard and the Chavigne presses, aged half in barrel and half in vat. A delicious wine!
Domaine Guffens-Heynen - Idiosyncrazy 2008
3.3/5 (3 reviews)
New name for the cuvée "En Crazy" (taken from a nickname Robert Parker gave 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 the end of presses of "Tris des Hauts de Chavigne", to which we added the harvest of a parcel of Saint Veran in 2008. A very rich wine with good acidity and a long finish. A great cuvée!
