Domaine Guffens-Heynen - Mâcon-Pierreclos En Crazy 2016
88/100
Robert Parker
"Notes of honeyed peach, mandarin oil, and white flowers characterize the 2016 Mâcon-Pierreclos En Crazy. It is a medium-bodied, satiny, and open wine that is expressive and easy to drink. Between the first juices from young vines and the second pressings from older vines, this produces Guffens' best Mâcon-Pierreclos cuvée. En Crazy is best enjoyed young." (Wine Advocate Robert Parker 2018)

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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.
