Note di degustazione
Yet another great name who owns no vines in Chevalier. 2000 was the vintage for whites that put them on the map of top sources . As usual, a crowd pleaser. Full, toasty nose. Very flattering with a nice racy lemony streak. Very well put together. Not enormous but very well balanced. Transparent. Lively. Long. A great drink already.< (JR)

Boillot's 2000 Chevalier-Montrachet is unquestionably one of the vintage's finest wines. Its aromatic profile, composed of smoky pears and juicy bacon, leads to an enormously elegant, crystalline personality. "It reminds me of a singing glass," said Boillot as he rolled his finger around the rim of his crystal glass. This rich, medium to full-bodied wine is powerful, intense, and loaded with depth. Layers of spiced apples and poached pears can be found intermingled with minerals throughout this stunner's character as well as in its unbelievably long finish. It is pure, full-flavored, and prodigiously balanced. "What can I say? It was a Chevalier year," added Boillot. Projected maturity: now-2016. Wine Advocate.December, 2001
