Presentation
Located in Vergisson, in the heart of the Grand Site naturel des Deux Roches, Domaine Guerrin et Fils is a family estate founded in 1926. The Guerrin family has revealed exceptional terroirs such as La Maréchaude and Les Crays, now recognized under the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. With a mosaic of 35 small parcels spread over 14 hectares, the estate benefits from a rare geological diversity, mainly on limestone soils that favor elegant and expressive whites. Cultivating Chardonnay with respect for the terroir, the estate favors meticulous manual work and careful vinification. The wines stand out for their beautiful minerality, rich aromatic palette, and remarkable tension on the palate. A characterful estate that perpetuates the tradition of great whites from Mâconnais.
