Note di degustazione
Subtly perfumed yet striking notes of minerality, trace of earth, white flowers, freshly cut lemons introduce linear, direct, driving, powerful and superbly refined flavors that are crystalline in their purity. This does a slow but inexorable build from the mid-palate to the staggeringly long, almost painfully intense finish that simply lasts and lasts. This doesn't have the size and power of the Bâtard or the Montrachet but it's finer, purer and is the embodiment of sheer class. An awesome wine that rivals the unbelievable '99. If you can find it, don't miss it.

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. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
