The outstanding 2001 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Macherelles explodes from the glass with sweet pear, apple, spice, and oak aromas. Medium-bodied, fleshy, concentrated, expansive, and deep, it is an ample, assertive wine. Lush layers of spiced pears make up this seductive wine's velvety-textured character. It should be consumed over the next 6 years.
