Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2004

Much more closed on the nose, hinting at menthol. Fat and sweet, with terrific flavor intensity, but more taut today than the Embrazees, with a strong impression of acidity. Still a bit youthfully tight and unforthcoming, but this has all the elements to make a superb bottle.

Powerful earthy, mineral, and anise aromas can be discerned in the aromatics of the 2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumees. This tangy, light to medium-bodied wine is packed with juicy pears, apples and spices that linger in its impressively long finish. Drink it over the next 5 years.
