Score 84/100 · Robert Parker, Jan 1990
For value, Drouhin makes a good Chassagne-Montrachet, which is bursting with cherry fruit. Drouhin's oenologist told me the tannin and acidity levels of the wines were higher in 1988 than in 1985, but my tastings made me think otherwise. Perhaps as this wine recovers from bottle shock it will show more structure and acidity, and will be a more worthy candidate for long-term aging.
