Guffens-Heynen Mâcon-Pierreclos "Tri de Chavigne" 2024

Not yet reviewed; 2023 vintage rated 93-95 points by William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "It's an open question whether the 2023 Mâcon-Pierreclos Tri de Chavigne or its 2020 counterpart will turn out to be superior—and given that 2020 ranks as one of Guffens's greatest vintages of the last 40 decades, that's saying something. Bursting with aromas of white peach, confit citrus and exotic fruits mingled with white flowers and toasted nuts, the 2023 appears to be the more demonstrative of the two, with a medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled palate framed by terrific structuring dry extract. Anyone who has the opportunity to buy it by the case shouldn't hesitate, as it is a classic in the making."

Steen Öhman (Winehog) on the 2023 vintage: "Jean-Marie Guffens asserts a style that many great Burgundy winemakers admire and envy. His estate wines... are recognised by connoisseurs as among the greatest Chardonnays in France... The Guffens-Heynen Mâcon-Pierreclos, Tri de Chavigne 2023 is a level up in intensity: intese yet elegant. An elegant cuvée and with a larger mineral complexity than Verget wines served before. Effortless and hedonistic … a perfect balance for me."
