Once a partner of Verget’s Jean-Marie Guffens, Jean Rijckaert had a vision to craft wines with unmistakable terroir, so he left that estate to found his own in the Maconnais, which he tends organically to create pure, focused wines. Within a few short years, Jean Rijckaert had the wine world’s attention. His Maconnais rivaled the great Cote d’Or whites, and Rijckaert’s were half the price, while his single-vineyard old-vine Pouilly-Fuissés were laser-precise, chiseled works of art. In 2007, Rikckaert fell out with his long-term importer, making the wines unavailable in the US; however, IWM has recently been able to add the estate to its roster, delighted to offer Rijckaert’s impressive, terroir-driven wines to our clients.
