The 1999 Macon-La Roche Vineuse Vieilles Vignes, tasted from barrel, revealed an intense, fresh mineral-laden nose. This wine has excellent depth of tangy stones and gravel in its well-focused, rich, and soft personality. It is pure, light to medium-bodied, elegant, and possesses an excellent, supple finish. Projected maturity: now-2004. Importer: Neal Rosenthal Wine Merchant, New York, NY; tel (800) 910-1990.
