88-86 / 100"The 2022 Bourgogne Jeunes Vignes et Derniers Jus is a medium-bodied, ample and fleshy wine evocative of peaches, beeswax, white flowers and orange oil. Open and expressive, it's produced from the later press fractions from Guffens's other cuvées."

Tasting Notes
In 2022, Jean-Marie brought together the first juices of the youngest vines of Chavigne with the last presses of the oldest vines and those from his great terroirs (including 1ers Crus) in Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé. Searching for charm and accessibility in its youth, the wine aged in a concrete vat for 16 months. It’s been almost a decade since we could offer a Guffens-Heynen cuvée at this price. Incredibly seductive, layered and complex, loaded with floral and complex lees notes. To say this over-delivers is the understatement of the century. Enjoy it while it lasts!
