Domaine Guffens-Heynen Macon-Pierreclos Tri de Chavigne Blanc 2018

Tasting Notes

Tri de Chavigne results from several successive picks (over 12 days) in the vines at the top of the Chavigne parcel mentioned above. It’s crafted entirely from free-run juice, fermented, and raised with 35% new oak. Our note from the wine’s initial release: As expected, this is a step up in intensity over the regular Chavigne (already pretty damn smart). Here you have this magical, pure, nectarine/citrusy fruit, shot through with crystalline spice, chalky notes, and a long smoky, quinine close. An incredible balancing act of richness and vibrant freshness. Far too young. It will be magic with another 5+ years. - Importer Note
