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.
A rich, smoky, exotic style that serves up layers of ripe pineapple, mineral, citrus, tangerine and fig; for all its intensity and concentration, it's elegantly styled, ending with a creamy aftertaste.
