The 2000 Chassagne-Montrachet Chenevottes has oak-imbued minerals in its aromatics. Intense and ample, this medium-bodied wine offers earthy mineral flavors. It is well-balanced, lively, and possesses a long, supple finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Maison Louis Latour has a different importer in each state.

This is a big, bold wine with scents of ripe pear and a hint of anise. The fruit seems to grow and add dimension in the mouth, featuring pears and peaches that are topped off with a dollop of spicy oak and butter.——W.E.(8/1/2002)—— 88
