The potentially outstanding 1997 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers combines the Boudriotte's marvelous breadth with a focused and delineated personality. This stone and mineral-scented offering is dense, rich, fat, yet extremely well-balanced and medium-bodied. It is oily-textured as well as crammed with iron, steel flavors that segue into a magnificent minerality. Projected maturity: 2000-2007.
