Produced from 60-year old vines in an enclosed parcel of Les Chaumees vineyard, the Chassagne Montrachet Clos de la Truffiere Vieilles Vignes possesses an awesome floral nose filled with sweet fruits and slight earthy tones. In the mouth, a powerful explosion of ripe and vivacious fruit with complex flavors of nuts and minerals makes this an outstanding medium-to-full-bodied wine for drinking between 1999-2009. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT; tel (802) 875-2139. Note: Vincent Girardin sells wines under the Baron de la Charriere label to European Cellars (Eric Solomon, tel (212) 924-4949). The wines marked with an asterisk (*) indicate that the same vineyard designation can be found through European Cellars, but the wine will not be the same as those listed here as Eric Solomon selects the barrels he wants.
