The toasted mineral-scented 2000 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes is an outstanding wine. Medium to full-bodied and broad, it coats the palate with raspberries, smoky pears, apples, and minerals. Broad, satin-textured, and persistent in the finish, this is a gorgeous, lush wine. Drink it over the next 7-9 years.
