Domaine Guffens-Heynen
Tris des Hauts de Vignes Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay
Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France
Signs of seepage.
Most advanced bottle to date. Less mineral/funky, more vanilla/hazelnut/tropical fruit. Still beautiful! 😍

Apricots from a smoking gun...!
A deadly combination.
Also whiffs of underripe pine-apple, rockdust, candied lemons, ginger, saffron and white pepper.
Great acidity and electricity from start to finish.
A truly magnificant Chardonnay.

Great minerality, flint and iron, dusty rocks, lemon oil.
Terrific white burgundy!!

Inspired by wine-buddy Thijs, I decided to pull the trigger on this one today.
And he’s completely right.
Explosive nose of fireworks, candied lemonpeel, peach kernel and decadent spicebox aromas. Nice and creamy on the palate, wonderful viscosity, spicy acidity (is there such a thing?) and mineral play on the long and fresh finish.
Kudos to Mr. Guffens.

Wow...so fresh and mineral. Flowers, yellow stone fruit, flint like gun powder. Oh boy, this is good, and a much better bottle than some weeks ago. Catch some if you find it!
