Jean-Marie Guffens does it again—another brilliant white wine, utterly unique and not to be missed. Every new release is a sensation!

A true master of the Mâconnais, Guffens continues to push boundaries, crafting white wines that rival Burgundy’s most prestigious estates. His name alone commands the respect of collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Never one to follow convention, he thrives on exploration, constantly redefining what’s possible. This Viognier from his Tinus Collection is a perfect example—grown at Château des Tourettes, his Luberon estate, where limestone-rich soils at 400 meters altitude shape its remarkable depth and character.
