Domaine Jean-Marie Guffens Mature Pouilly-Fuissé
BY NEAL MARTIN |
I have been drinking and enjoying Jean-Marie Guffens’ wines for a quarter-century now. With his larger-than-life personality and tendency to utter the utterable, Guffens might not be everyone’s cup of tea. What cannot be denied is that he has the magic touch when it comes to making wine, and over the last two or three years, the demand for back vintages has dramatically increased. When I visited the winery in Vergisson this June, Guffens kindly opened three bottles, and fortunately, around a half ended up in my wine glass…the rest spilled over the table.
