2000 Domaine Roger Lassarat Mâcon-Vergisson La Roche Cuvée Unique

The 2000 Macon-Vergisson La Roche Cuvee Unique was vinified and aged in 100% new oak, yet it is virtually unnoticeable. Its spiced, mineral-laden nose leads to an appealing core of silky-textured and intense mineral flavors. Medium-bodied and broad, this wine has excellent density as well as a fresh, expressive character. Drink it over the next 5 years.
