| -Rated 95 in 2002 - The explosive aromatics of the 2002 Sancerre Chavignol La Grande Cote display slate, honey, almonds, flowers, and grass. A dense, juicy, concentrated, broad-shouldered wine, its medium to full-bodied personality is redolent with salty minerals, candied lemons, white peaches, slate, and hazelnuts. Like the Monts Damnes, this effort’s lengthy finish must be experienced to be believed. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.- - Robert Parker. |
