Served blind, the 1990 Macon-Pierreclos Le Chavigne was very impressive, offering up an appealing bouquet of buttered apples, honeycomb and dried white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, bright and incisive, marrying a lovely line of acidity with Guffens's trademark mid-palate amplitude. Admittedly, this bottle had never left the domaine's cellars, but its performance was striking testimony to the age-worthiness of even lowly Macon-Pierreclos in Guffens's hands. It also underscores how these wines improve with bottle age, even if they're hard to resist in their youth.
