MARCASSIN VINEYARDS CHARDONNAY MARCASSIN VINEYARD 2002

Sonoma County.

A massive explosion of white flower, corn relish, orange rind, lemon butter and sea breeze-like characteristics jump from the glass of this light gold/greenish-hued 2002. Magnificent fruit, a full-bodied texture, and superb intensity as well as precision characterize this youthful, full-throttle Marcassin. It comes across like an exquisite Batard-Montrachet (although recent Batards I have tasted tend to be oxidized). The 2002 Marcassin has two decades of life remaining. June 2012 WA 100

3 bts.    per lot $1,700 - $2,000

Realised: $1,560
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
