Minty/pine-laced aromas of minerals and pears are found in the nose of the 2003 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Baudines (white). Light to medium-bodied, pretty, and with a broad attack and mid-palate, this wine displays appealing white fruit and sap flavors before tapering off. It should be drunk over the next 3-4 years.
One final note: Pierre-Yves Colin (and others) have also found the mint/pine resin characteristics in this small firm’s wines. While these traits are not unappealing, he is baffled as to where they can come from since he acquires fruit from numerous sources and uses barrels that others employ without the same results.
