Domaine Guffens-Heynen, Saint Veran 'Premiers Jus' 2023Place: Mconnais, France Grape: Chardonnay Vibe: Elite From the first presses of grapes grown in the Saint Vran lieu dits Les Combes, Les Carettes, and a small portion of Clos des Poncetys. Only the first, free run juice is used before fermented with native yeasts in barrel, with a few rounds of btonnage. Jean Marie describes it as slightly reductive and downright attractive. I'm not going to argue there. This is flinty and F***ing delicious. ABV: 13.
