Item Description
WINE- Burgundy wine fanatics, look no further. Marcassin's Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are among the world's most concentrated, complex and extraordinary wines, comparing favorably with the French wines in blind tastings and sometimes besting them. Winemaker/proprietor Helen Turley and her husband, John Wetlaufer, believe that to make intense, pure, rich and complex wines, you need the right soil, top vineyard sites, low yields, noninterventionist winemaking, no acidification, fining or filtration. The Chardonnays are all gorgeously perfumed, powerful, and concentrated, with intense, exotic fruit. The Pinot Noirs are opulently textured, lavishly rich and aromatic, with seductive black fruit. All the wines in this lot were produced in the year 2000. The Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay, with only 36 bottled, received 98 points from Robert Parker. The Three Sisters Vineyard, with only 18 bottled, received 94 points, while the Gauer Upper Barn Chardonnay, with 42 bottled, scored 95. The Three Sisters Pinot Noir, merited 93 points, with only 18 bottled. Both the Blue Slide Ridge and Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noirs were rated 98 and only 48 of each were bottled. This is an exceptional lot as Marcassin has never before released their wine in magnums so these are very rare bottles. Moreover, they are all signed by the owners and winegrowers. Robert Parker says the Marcassin wines must be tasted to be believed. So buy this lot and discover for yourself why these wines are in such great demand.
