"Guffens produces some of the most exciting wines in all of Burgundy."

Jean-Marie Guffens makes some of the most singular and utterly captivating white Burgundies around.

For over two decades, Guffens' wines have been in my drinking orbit.

In my opinion, this notoriously provocative and rebellious winemaker is currently making the best wines to date. It's amazing to witness this from someone whose first vintage was 1980.

For many, the wines of the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy are second-tier. However, in Guffens' hands, the region can compete on the world stage. The wines of Mâconnais are often associated with a certain heaviness. The wines of Guffens-Heynen shock you with their electricity and fineness.

As William Kelley, the astute writer for The Wine Advocate, has said: "Guffens produces some of the most exciting wines in all of Burgundy; whites which unite tension, texture and amplitude in rare harmony." That sums up the wines well.

Today, I'm happy to offer Guffens-Heynen 2022 Mâcon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne in both bottle and magnum.

The 1er Jus refers to the free-run and first-press juice, which has higher acidity. The 2022 flaunts the purity and tension that this wine possesses. It's intense, laser-focused, and silky-textured. The wine is profound, nuanced, and has a well-balanced, compact frame. The entire package is lovely.

This is a one-of-a-kind bottle that's simply thrilling. The 2022 1er Jus de Chavigne is masterfully composed. I'm very happy to offer.

William Kelley, The Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Mâcon-Pierreclos 1er Jus de Chavigne has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of waxy citrus fruit, white peach, buttery pastry and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's racy and intense, with a tangy spine of acidity that carries through the long, saline finish. As ever, "1er Jus" indicates that this cuvée is produced with the free-run and first-press juice (which is lower in pH and higher in acidity, bringing more tension) from the Chavigne vineyard."
