Tasting notes
(the vines in Mollard's holding range from 20 to 50 years of age) Carnal aromas of peach, nectarine and truffle. Fat, sweet and ripe, with a round, rather open texture and sound balancing acids. More accessible today than the Chenevottes, with more volume and flavor depth.

Copious quantities of gravel can be found in the aromatics of the 2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers. Suave, supple, and light to medium-bodied, this is an extremely well-focused wine with limestone and chalk flavors. Somewhat tightly wound, it will need to flesh out to merit a more exalted review. Drink it over the next 6-7 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
Hazelnuts. Reverberation. Real concentration, acidity, and fruit. Long. Bravo! (JR)
