The 2000 Bourgogne Chardonnay was fermented and aged entirely in 500 liter barrels, half of which were new. It offers ripe, spiced apple aromas and a tangy, medium-bodied character. This smoky, mineral, pear, apple, and lemon-flavored wine is fat, fresh, and highly expressive. It is unquestionably one of the finest generic Bourgognes of the vintage. Drink it over the next 5 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
