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

A fruity and fleshy white wine from Burgundy

The estate

Originally from Flanders, Maine and Jean-Marie Guffens-Heynen moved to the Mâconnais part of Burgundy in 1976 where they became managers of a small estate and learned to work the vines and make wine. Driven by their enthusiasm, instinct and sensitivity, they acquired a few plots of vines on the heights of Pierreclos in 1979 and founded Domaine Guffens-Heynen.
