Tasting notes
Peach, pear, pineapple and flower blossoms on the nose. At once fleshy and lively, with enticing peach and pineapple flavors. In a fruity style, but a bit tighter and more structured than the Chaumees. Wait two or three years on this one.

Rich aromas of liquid minerals and spices dominate the nose of the 2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers. Fleshy, intense, and medium-bodied, this sappy, well-focused wine displays a flavor profile of resin-coated stones and chartreuse. It is powerful, extremely well-balanced, deep, and possesses a long, fruit-filled finish. Importers: Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel.
