Aromatically, the 1998 Chassagne-Montrachet Marquis De Laguiche reveals fresh earth, minerals, and citrus fruits. This wine has excellent breadth, power, and a large palate presence. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and well-crafted, it offers flavors reminiscent of pears, assorted white fruits, and earth throughout its character and long, supple finish. Drink it over the next 5 years.
