Jean-Claude Bachelet, Chassagne Montrachet Boudriotte Rouge Size:6x750ml The full-bodied palate is ripe

The full-bodied palate is ripe and concentrated with surprising freshness for its style

The 2010 du Tertre soars out of the glass with blackberry

with great complexity and nuance

and mineral already very clearly in evidence

This is a huge and powerful wine with overtly muscular flavors that ooze both minerality and tannin-buffering extract before culminating in a lavish finish of spectacular length

Jean-Claude Bachelet, Chassagne Montrachet Boudriotte Rouge Size:6x750ml The full-bodied palate is ripe(from Les Chaumes). A generously wooded and menthol infused nose offers up slightly more elegant aromas of essence of red cherry liqueur, earth and soft spice nuances. The rich and caressing medium weight flavors possess fine mid palate concentration that coats the palate on the dusty and balanced finale. This is carrying more wood than I can warm up to but the density suggests that it will eventually be absorbed if you have the patience to wait. (89
