The absolute elite of the Mâconnais region, elevated by the French press to the rank of “the greatest chardonnay winemaker in the world”, Jean-Marie Guffens is an icon. His white wines are lined up alongside the most prestigious Burgundian estates and all wine aficionados know the value of his precious vintages.
