The superb 2000 Chassagne-Montrachet Franchemont is a deep, broad, concentrated wine. It bursts from the glass with ripe pear and mineral aromas that lead to a broad, medium to full-bodied character. This intense, delineated wine coats the palate with earthy apples, anise, minerals, toast, and hints of vanilla. It is highly nuanced and rich, while being delineated and expressive. Furthermore, this gorgeous offering possesses a long, flavorful, and supple finish. Drink it over the next 12 years.
