1997 Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Vieilles Vignes

According to Vincent Girardin, he crafted his 50 barrels of 1997 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot from both grapes and must acquired from five different proprietors. The finished wine has a floral and tea leaf-scented nose as well as a boldly assertive personality. This earth and mineral-filled offering has exquisite richness, a medium body, and tangy mineral components in its finish. Drink it over the next 6 years.
