(jeroboam) Softly ethereal fruit of obvious breed is framed by a subtle trace of oak and leads to naturally sweet, pure and quite fine flavors that offer good if not great minerality and lovely finishing detail. This is quite classy and surprisingly forward for a relatively young Chevalier, especially in a large format. Drink or hold.

Green-tinged pale color. Classy aromas of tangy grapefruit, pear eau de vie and minerals. Dense, pure, ripe and delineated; vibrant, pristine citrus, spice and stony flavors. Firm and brisk but creamy at the core, in the style of the vintage. Palate-staining finish features almost painful grip.

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.
