The 1999 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte (Domaine bottling) has extraordinary aromatic depth to its nut cake, floral, and super-ripe pear-laden nose. Medium-bodied, powerful, and intense, this is a concentrated, refined, and focused wine, with outstanding depth, precision, and muscle. Its mineral, spice, and candied apple flavors last throughout its extraordinarily long, crystalline finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2012.
