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. Verget's 1992 Pouilly-Fuisse exhibits rich, buttery, apricot-like fruit, underlying mineral scents and flavors, medium to full body, and excellent depth and finish. It reveals more oak than the Saint-Veran, but not as much upfront, rich fruit. It should drink well for another 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!
