Guffens-Heynen Mâcon-Pierreclos Tris de Chavigne 2023

Art is not to be compared, Jean-Marie Guffens told Robert Parker, who, in 1983, told of a 'crazy' winemaker crafting Mâconnais wines comparable to Puligny and Meursault. If there is one thing to say of JM Guffens, it's that the approach to winemaking is uncompromising, and deeply personal. 

‘I love Mâcon-Pierreclos, Tri de Chavigne the most', Guffens told us, ‘because it was our very first vineyard and no one wanted it because it was too steep. We always take what others don’t want. We empty the trash can', he smiled at his wife before adding, ‘I would be unable to make great wine somewhere well-known like Meursault, for example, because I can’t change it or make it my way'.
