Thierry Guérin
Thierry Guérin works in the Mâconnais, Bourgogne's southern district, where Chardonnay thrives on limestone-rich soils and moderate continental influence. The winery's portfolio centers on two expressions of Pouilly-Fuissé—La Roche and La Roche Vieilles Vignes—both pure Chardonnay from vineyard sites that express the region's mineral character. A Saint-Véran rounds the range, offering a leaner, more delicate take on the same grape. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have rated these wines, with La Roche Pouilly-Fuissé emerging as the flagship. The Mâconnais style favors brightness and structure over the richer profiles of Côte d'Or; Guérin's wines align with that tradition—dry, food-friendly Chardonnays built for the table rather than the cellar.
