WA

White
750ml
Label : Good Label
Level : Neck Level
Capsule : Good Capsule
The 2023 vintage for Guffens-Heynen's Pouilly-Fuissé C.C. is heralded as brilliant, ranking among the best in Jean-Marie Guffens' career. The growing season saw ample spring water, preventing stress, followed by extreme heat that naturally reduced harvest yields. This white Burgundy is crafted from old vines (planted in 1955) in the La Côte and En Carmentrant vineyards, with cold exposure balancing its inherent richness. Only free-run juice is used, contributing to its delicate character.
Tasting notes reveal aromas of pear and white flowers, intertwined with hints of mint and honey. It is medium- to full-bodied, satiny, and seamless, offering a pure and suave profile with a lively core of fruit and a saline finish. Expect a pale straw color, with subtle nutty, smoky, and savory undertones. The palate is succulent and rounded, boasting a satiny texture, fleshy fruit, and lightly tangy acids, culminating in a long, tender finish with subtle reduction. 【One of the most sophisticated wines from Guffens, ranking among the best of his career】.
🍴 Food Pairing: This elegant white Burgundy pairs beautifully with chicken and turkey dishes.
🥂 Fit for Event: A refined and moreish wine, it is ready to drink upon release and serves as an ideal aperitif or a delightful accompaniment to a sophisticated meal.
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.
