1999 Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Chaumes"

[Thomas]

I like that idea. I use a star system to buy for my shop. If a wine meets the basic requirement, which is to have no glaring flaws and to represent its region or variety, then I rate it for its characteristics and for its price/value ratio. When I later go through my notes anything with three stars is an automatic buy; two stars and a plus sign is next in line; two stars and a minus gets categorized as second string, for those times when I need a decent product and have some extra money lying around--rare time they are; two stars generally aren't in the running, unless customers ask for them.
