The mineral and toasted pear-scented 2000 Chevalier-Montrachet is a silky-textured, dense, medium-bodied wine. Immensely elegant and profound, this concentrated, white fruit and gravel-flavored offering has the requisite depth for extended cellaring, yet has the forward fruit required for providing near-term enjoyment. Drink it over the course of the next 12-14 years.
