The 1999 Chevalier-Montrachet offers aromas reminiscent of a vanilla-infused creme brulee. It has excellent depth to its light to medium-bodied, mineral and poached pear-flavored core. This fresh, beautifully balanced, and pure wine would have merited an outstanding review if it had had more depth of fruit. Drink it over the next 6-7 years.
