The 2003 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos St.-Jean (white) is a step up. Its rich aromatics of pulp-laden pears are followed by a personality with more depth than any of the preceding wines. Suave, satin-textured, supple, and straightforward, its sappy white fruit-dominated core lingers in its impressive finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
