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 1992 premier crus are marvelous wines. The quality jumps considerably with the 1992 Chassagne-Montrachet-Les Champs Gains. This is a powerful, yet remarkably graceful, stylish wine with an intense nose of buttered apples and apricots. Concentrated, with admirable ripeness, zesty underlying acidity, and a long finish, it is a wine to drink over the next 7-8 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!
