Tasting notes
Cool aromas of menthol and baking spices. Sweet but bright and brisk, with perfumed flavors of apple and spices. This, too, offers lovely perfume and lift in the mouth. Finishes lively and persistent.

Rich almond and hazelnut butter aromas are found in the nose of the 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Chalumeaux (domaine). This concentrated, deep, pure, spicy wine is packed with assorted creamy nuts, pears, ginger, and nutmeg. It is supple, satiny-textured, and possesses a long, seamless finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 888-7575
