The gorgeous 2000 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Champs Gain bursts from the glass with super-ripe apple aromas. Fresh, rich, and opulent, it coats the taster's palate with a panoply of spices, minerals, white fruits, and buttered toast. With air, its flavor profile gained intensity as well as focus. Anticipated maturity: now-2011.
