The 1999 Macon-Chaintre Vieilles Vignes (from 50 to 70-year old vines) has beguiling smoke, mineral, and pear aromas. Medium-bodied, it has excellent focus, balance, and depth. Stones and gravel can be found throughout its harmonious and long-finishing character. Drink it over the next 4 years. Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Fran Kysela, Winchester, VA; tel (540) 722-9228.
