Domaine Guffens-Heynen


The wines from the original domaine of Jean-Marie and Maine Guffens, where Jean-Marie developed the winemaking skills which are now used to the full at Verget. Maine has given up being a vigneronne to look after their adopted girls in the warmer climes of Château des Tourettes in the Lubéron. The domaine vines are still looked after in the same horticultural way by the caretaker, and the only real change in recent years has been the installation of a 'new' press (it is at least twenty years old), which Jean-Marie bought from a Champagne house - the domaine vines have always been pressed in an old-fashioned vertical press, and he saw no reason to change.
