2004 Domaine Bachelet Chassagne Montrachet 13.0%
Pleasant aromas of oak, white flowers and, curiously, smoked ham. Fresh mouth feel, excellent body, lovely bitter finish. A touch too much oak, at least at this point in its evolution, to be perfect for me, but if I keep in mind that their mission statement is not to please my moving target palate as it stands in March of 2010, this comes off as the platonic ideal of a fine white village burg. Very fine (sounds like I'm grading stamps or coins).
