Tasting notes
Quite pinched and taut on the nose – not 100% open and clean. A strong green fruit character – solid and worthy without having a great lift. Greengages. Competent without being very exciting. (JR)

Loads of pears, apples, and spices can be found in the rich nose of the 2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Vieilles Vignes. Medium-bodied, broad, and suave, this creamy, plush, tangy wine coats the palate with vanilla, spices, poached pears, and hints of new oak. Drink this outstanding Chassagne over the next 6-8 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802. In addition, Vincent Girardin sells many of these same wines under the Baron de la Charriere label to European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
Creamy and lemony. Lively, though maybe slightly too sweet? Extremely competently made however. (JR)
