🏰 The 2020 Guffens Heynen Macon Pierreclos Juliette et les Vieilles de Chavigne is a Chardonnay from Burgundy, praised for its 【immense potential and a ton of concentration, with a lovely nose of rich and intense yet mineral-driven profile】. Despite the tricky conditions of the 2020 Burgundy vintage, marked by unusually high temperatures, this wine achieved almost record acidities due to berry concentration. Early tasting impressions highlight hugely intense aromatics of peach, kiwi, and savory spices. The palate is full-bodied and very rich, offering a viscous array of stone and tropical fruits with creamy, generous spice, all cut through by a backbone of zesty acidity. It's described as a fantastic Macon with class and balance, capable of aging for 15 to 20 years.
🍴 This buttery and complex white wine pairs well with chicken and turkey. Its richness and acidity also make it suitable for dishes like pig's head terrine, Thai crispy noodles with prawn, sesame prawns, and Manchego cheese.
🥂 An excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner, a blind tasting against more prestigious Meursaults, or a special occasion that calls for a white Burgundy with significant aging potential. It's a wine that rewards patience and offers a truly engaging experience.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Guffens-Heynen is the pair's original winemaking project, set up in 1979 after they moved from their native Belgium to learn winemaking in Burgundy. The estate has five hectares (13 acres) of vineyard, including a hectare (2.5 acres) of Pouilly-Fuissé vines, and about the same of Saint-Véran. Yields are tiny, and the wines are fermented with natural yeasts, aged on their lees, and bottled without filtration.
