Liquid minerals can be found in the nose of the medium-bodied, silky-textured 2001 Chassagne-Montrachet Chenevottes. Its character has a fleshy core of concentration (what the French call seve, or resin) and rich, deep flavors reminiscent of limestone, stones, liquid minerals, and talc. Anticipated maturity: now-2010.
