Produced from purchased grape must, the Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes has an intensely spicy nose filled with fruit cake-like aromas. This medium-to-full-bodied expansive wine is soft and inviting, beautifully expressing its pear, mineral, and buttered toast flavors. Anticipated maturity: now-2004.
