Simply great and agree with previous taster that the richness reminded me of pre-2013 Comte Lafon. The wine was particularly youthful for an 09. It was round and full with good acidity. Long life ahead.

The most aromatic Macon I have had. Almost like an exotic Lafon? Rich, fat, powerful, some grassy pyrazine flavors in the background. Curry spice, cinnamon, vanilla, white pear, orchard flowers, toasted brioche, caramel. Excellent acidity despite its richness from both style and vintage, finished with mouthwatering acidity that ends in such mellow elegance. Incredibly precise and spicy. 93-94

Suis surpris par l’équilibre très frais, la jeunesse et l’absence de cette note de cognac qui signe souvent les Guffens. Le vin est excellent (meilleur le deuxième jour) mais il me semble atypique. Et pourtant 2009 était un millésime chaud/solaire.

Super Chardonnay bien mûr, avec de la réserve, meilleur le 2ème jour! Arômes de pomme Golden, une touche de lilas, la bouche est bien mûre, pas une once d’oxydation, belle surprise.

Note précédente s’applique, plus abouti le 2ème jour. Très joli Chardonnay, mûr et sans aucune lourdeur.
