94 RP. "Verget's Grand Cru 1992 Le Montrachet is superb, with layers of rich fruit, a compelling mineral and wet stone fragrance allied to smoky, toasty new oak, and tons of fruit . . . . full-bodied, rich . . . . As the notes attest, Guffens is one of France's greatest white winemakers. The quality of his wines in so-so years such as 1991 shames many famous names. In 1992 the overall quality level is extraordinary. 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!"
