Spiced minerals make up the nose of the 2001 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes. Light to medium-bodied, focused, and juicy, it offers loads of juicy, lively candied lemons and minerals in its flavor profile. A wine of superb purity, it would have earned an outstanding rating had it been fleshier, deeper, and more concentrated. Projected maturity: 2004-2010.
