Readers searching for a dead-ringer for Michel Niellon's Batard Montrachet should check out the 2000 Chardonnay Hansel Family Vineyard Cuvee Alyce. There are 348 cases of this sumptuous white, which offers notes of smoky hazelnuts intermixed with liquid minerals, white peaches, pears, and lemon butter. The wine is full-bodied and tightly-wound, with vibrant acidity as well as great definition and length. It should age nicely for 7-8 years. Very impressive! Tel. (707) 525-3614
