The ripe yellow fruits and wood aging work together in this rich, full-bodied effort. The acidity lends a refreshing relief as the wine rolls around on the palate. Drink in a year. — (11/1/2012) —88

Bouchard Aine’s whites have progressed well in quality, and this soft, plump Chassagne-Montrachet is a good example. It has weight, a finely judged feel for toast, which fits well with the white peach and spice flavors. The finish is full but fresh. Imported by Boisset America.——R.V.(10/1/2009)—— 88
