Tasting notes
Expressive liquid mineral and spice aromas can be discerned in the nose of the 2000 Macon-Bussieres Vieilles Vignes de Montbrison. Hugely concentrated and broad, this ample, medium-bodied wine is filled with well-delineated stone, quartz, and mineral flavors. It is broad, pure, and precise. Drink it over the next 8 A Peter Vezan Selection (Paris Fax # 011-33-1-42654293), importers include: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700 and North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel.

Lime, mint and a hint of chlorophyll on the nose, along with a lactic nuance. Fat and dense but also quite minerally, with strong framing acids. Flavor of oeufs a la neige Quite Chablis-like, with excellent backbone and a very long, chewy finish.
