1999 Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot

The opulent 1999 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot has a shy, mineral-dominated nose. This medium-to-full-bodied, velvety-textured wine is deep, balanced, and has a hugely plump, chewy personality. Layers of spiced pears, candied apples, and anise can be found throughout this sexy offering's personality as well as in its admirable long and pure finish. Drink it over the next 8-9 years.
