Tasting notes
A bit spicy and a bit filterpad-like on the nose. Very sweet and rich on the palate. Flattering. Serious (JR)

Pure aromas of peach, lime and white flowers. Sweet, dense, fat and full, with nicely integrated acids giving cut to the lemon and spicy oak flavors. The longest yet of these 2002s.
Exhibiting outstanding aromatic depth, the mineral-dominated nose of the 2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers (from 40-year-old vines) leads to a broad, lush, satiny-textured personality. This elegant, medium-bodied wine is packed with minerals. It offers admirable depth, purity, and length. Projected maturity: now-2011. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel.
