WTN: 2000 Vincent Dancer Chassagne-Montrachet "La Grande Borne"

This was a red 1er cru. Lovely wine which could still benefit from a couple more years in the cellar. The ample fruit was towards the cherry/strawberry end of the spectrum; secondary aromas and flavors are just beginning to show. Recorked overnight, the wine developed a bit of a candied fruit nose though the palate still showed plenty of cut.

IME, the Chassagne reds from 2000 are quite good and longer-lived than the vintage's rep would have you expect. Find them where you can; they should be cheap.

Hi Lee, you have been absent again. don't see much of these wines around here, but define cheap please.

I'm guessing most 2000 red Chassagne 1er crus were $25-30 on release, some probably as cheap as the upper teens.
