2001 Marc Morey & Flis Chassagne Montrachet Cru Les Vergers
Deep golden yellow. Almost to dark in my eyes, but still clear and clean in colors. At first I was disapointed at start. When opend, it was flat, with no respons on aromas. And almost felt dead on the palet. I thought maybe heat during storing, or even oxidation. Then 5-6 hours later it seriously opens..
The nose aromas are round and sweet. Ripe pears, honney, butter, some flovers. On taste a bit of wooden feel and acidic, but still fruity and with a well balanced sweetness. I sence the quality, all though I dont see the full picture on this bottle.
I will try my second bottle soon. Just cause im not sure about the aromas and palet here. But I seriously think that I have experienced a weeker bottle. But also a combination of the bottle beeing served to cold.

This seems to be in a prime drinking window. Golden quince color. Nose of caramel and yellow flowers. Medium+ bodied. Very nice acidity, which supports the ample fruit. Cantalupe, pears and caramel on the palate. Definitely some new oak in here, but it's there in moderation. Long finish. A slight bitter apple note in the end, which nicely cleans the palate, so that you're ready for the next sip. gulp, gulp, gulp

Infanticide I know but I wanted to try this. This is a beautiful wine that will be wonderful in a few more years (at least 3.) It has a light straw color, and high acidity. There are over whelming aromas of hazelnuts, lemons and vanilla. On the pallet it is very smooth with just a small bite at the back.
