What a beauty. Tastes like a very minerally Puligny-Montrachet. So intense you think your tastebuds may not survive this full-bodied Chablis with its concentrated lime honey spice pear and tropical flavors. Oaky but in a balanced way it's so thick it almost sticks to your palate yet it rockets with grace to a trailing finish that won't end. Try from 2002 to 2010. 790 cases made. -PM

Guffens' Chablis offerings continue to enthrall me. The fabulous Chablis Montee De Tonnerre reveals mineral and earth aromas as well as a medium-to-full-bodied highly-delineated rich velvety yet crisp core of stones flint lemon and note of sweet oak. Refined highly extracted and bright this wine will require cellaring patience. Projected maturity: 2003-2010.
