The nose is savoury and full of complexity

balanced and solidly complex finish

2002 was an easy vintage

supported by plush tannins

This is an exceptionally serious wine that should age for years yet isn’t overtly hard

Jean-Claude Bachelet, Chassagne Montrachet Boudriotte Blanc other_regions_australia The nose is savoury and(from 60+ year old vines in Les Chaumes). Discreet wood frames the ripe aromas of rosemary oil, white peach and again a whiff of petrol character. The medium weight flavors are not quite as dense yet theyre even more powerful while concluding in a wonderfully long and sappy if borderline tannic finale that flirts with rusticity. This wont win any awards for refinement but its really quite good.
