The Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanee is a wonderful wine. Smoke and minerals can be discerned on its nose, followed by a wide, fat, medium-to-full-bodied core of buttery stones, currants, sweet oak, and pears. Complex, concentrated, extremely well-balanced and defined, this wine's mid-palate is as rich and full-flavored as its attack and finish. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2008.
