Tasting notes
Spiced minerals make up the nose of the 2001 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes. Light to medium-bodied, focused, and juicy, it offers loads of juicy, lively candied lemons and minerals in its flavor profile. A wine of superb purity, it would have earned an outstanding rating had it been fleshier, deeper, and more concentrated. Projected maturity: 2004-2010.

Musky, cool aromas of lime and minerals. Dense and sweet but magically light on its feet. Powerful and enveloping wine, with very dry but strong citrus and stone flavors. Impressively persistent on the back end, with superb mineral acids giving the finish terrific grip.
