The Chevalier-Montrachet is a superb wine. Detailed and intricate aromas of minerals, stones and smoke are followed by a complex, lively, and medium-to-full body. Its powerful, vibrant, elegant, and refined flavor profile is composed of layer upon layer of minerals, intertwined with lemon notes that seemingly last forever in its admirable finish. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2010. The rating, with the range of scores in parentheses, indicates the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle.
