The superb, light to medium-bodied 2001 Chassagne-Montrachet Vide Bourse offers beguiling stone and apple aromatics. Fleshy, deep, satin-textured, and medium-bodied, it inundates the palate with resiny minerals. An intense, gorgeously detailed wine with an ethereal, penetrating quality, it also possesses an exceptionally long, expressive finish. Projected maturity: now-2010.
