Note di degustazione
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.

Knockout aromas of red berries, lime and gunflint. Extremely concentrated and dense but initially rather streamlined and closed in the middle palate. But exploded with aeration to coat the mouth with pink grapefruit, lime, chalk dust and mineral flavors. This is actually less expressive today than the Corton-Charlemagne but finishes with a similar dusty quality that builds slowly but goes on and on. Extremely refined, impressively structured Chevalier-Montrachet.
