Loads of spices can be found in the nose of the outstanding, medium-bodied 2003 Chevalier Montrachet (white). Soft, generous, and dense, this wine is pure and admirably detailed. Its fresh, fleshy personality offers lush waves of creamed minerals that linger in its impressive finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2014.
