Guffens-Heynen Mâcon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne 2022 (750ml)

The Guffens-Heynen Mâcon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne 2022 is a striking example of high-quality, terroir-driven Chardonnay from the Mâconnais region in Burgundy. Crafted by the renowned Jean-Marie Guffens, this wine represents the pinnacle of meticulous vineyard care and skillful winemaking that the estate is celebrated for. Known for his dedication to low yields, manual harvests, and natural winemaking practices, Guffens captures the true essence of the Pierreclos terroir.

Tasting Notes:

  • Color: Clear, pale gold with brilliant reflections.
  • Aroma: An intense bouquet of fresh citrus, green apple, and white peach, layered with mineral nuances of wet stone and a subtle hint of almond.
  • Palate: The wine is vibrant and expressive, with a precise acidity that enhances its fruit purity and minerality. Full-bodied yet refined, it delivers flavors of ripe pear, lemon zest, and a delicate floral character, rounded by a slight creaminess from aging on fine lees. The finish is long, showcasing a beautifully balanced structure with depth and freshness.

Winemaking:

The 2022 vintage reflects an ideal growing season with abundant sunshine and cool nights, preserving acidity while allowing for full ripeness. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo gentle pressing, followed by fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels, enhancing complexity without overwhelming the delicate fruit profile.

Food Pairing:

Perfect for pairing with seafood dishes such as grilled scallops, lobster, or a classic sole meunière. It also complements creamy poultry dishes and soft-ripened cheeses.

With limited production, the 1er Jus de Chavigne 2022 is an exceptional Chardonnay that offers both immediate enjoyment and potential for cellaring, a true testament to Jean-Marie Guffens’ mastery and the distinctive qualities of the Mâconnais region.
