"Absolutely full blown in style with expressive and classic white burgundy aromas that explode from the glass, merging seamlessly with generous, forward, remarkably soft (but not flabby), powerful flavors of considerable depth and a racy, pure, delicious finish that lasts for minutes. The '93 vintage was relatively concentrated in general but this is extremely dense and the sappy flavors coat and stain the palate. A simply great effort for the vintage and impressive as hell."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
