Minerals and stones can be found in the aromatics of the 1999 Criots-Batard-Montrachet. Herbal tea, minerals, and crisp pears are intermingled in this well-focused, plump, rich, medium-bodied wine. It has superb purity to its flavor profile and a long, smooth finish. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2011.
