This Chevalier-Montrachet, which will be given an as-yet-undetermined name, was crafted from a tiny parcel of less than half an acre that the Bouchard team contends merits the Montrachet appellation. It is an absolutely stunning wine, with profound aromas of baked white fruits and stones. On the palate, this awesome offering combines tell-tale richness of fruit with impeccable balance and focus. Rich waves of deeply ripe pears, apples, nuts, and traces of peach pits are found in this dense, complex, and velvety-textured gem. Lucky tasters will also find that the blockbuster finish reveals layers of minerals. Projected maturity: 2002-2009+. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel (212) 888-7575.

The Chevalier-Montrachet has a profound nose of minerals, chalk, and flowers. It is an outstanding wine, with magnificent richness of fruit, ripeness, and balance. Thick layers of stones and crisp white peaches can be found in its bright, vibrant and floral flavor profile. With an admirably long and precise finish, it should be at its peak between 2002 and 2007. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel (212) 888-7575.
