As the notes attest, Guffens is one of France's greatest white winemakers. The quality of his wines in so-so yers such as 1991 shames many famous names. In 1992 the overall quality level is extraordinary.Verget's excellent 1992 selections from Maconnais surpass many premier crus and grand crus from the Cote d'Or. The 1992 Saint-Veran offers superb fruit, a big, lusty, honeyed, buttery nose, and intense, ripe, medium to full-bodied flavors allied with crisp acidity. The impression is one of power and finesse. This is a complex, beautifully proportioned Saint-Veran for drinking over the next 4-5 years. These are truly the wines of a genius. I suspect their quality is so high it will shake-up a lot of white burgundy producers who have been resting on their historical reputations for far too long. The wines of Guffens are proof of the great quality that can be achieved without compromise. For that, consumers who care should be thankful. Bravo to Jean-Marie Guffens-Heynen!
