Those who love oak-laced Chardonnays will be enthralled by Morey’s 2003 Chassagne-Montrachet Vide-Bourse (white). Its buttered toast scents lead to a personality redolent with bacon, grilled wood, oak spices, and toasty pears. Medium-bodied, lush, and seamless, this satin-textured beauty sports a long, angle-free finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
