The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The absolute elite of the Mâconnais region, elevated by the French press to the rank of “the greatest chardonnay winemaker in the world,” Jean-Marie Guffens is an icon. His white wines are lined up alongside the most prestigious Burgundian estates, and all wine aficionados know the value of his precious vintages.
Wine There is an air of Chassagne-Montrachet in this 2020 white Pouilly-Fuissé Grands Terroirs... And it is the Best Sommelier in the World, Olivier Poussier, who says so! The dimension of the vintage imposes some richness and volume on the palate, marked by notes of white fruits and chalk. This white wine combines maturity, minerality, and freshness and is undoubtedly one of those Mâconnais that easily compete with the great Burgundy wines... The genius of Chardonnay has struck again!
Vinification Hand harvested. Traditional vinification.
