Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2007-2017, Jancis Robinson MW, Jul 2008

1,400 bottles from 0.562 acre. His vines were replanted primarily in 1962, the rest in 1968. Between 20 and 25% new oak. The demand for these bottles and for his Bâtard-Montrachet is very strong . Very deep copper. Sweet rich nose. Very big! Almost Bâtard-like! Interesting but not Chevalier. Lots of acid. (JR)

Green and lively with the sort of marked sulphidic nose you either love or loathe (I love). Underneath however it's a bit coarse and rough with a hot finish. Shame. (JR)

The 2000 Chevalier-Montrachet has a toasty, spicy nose. Well-delineated, this medium-bodied wine has loads of gravel, mineral, stone, and apple flavors. It is tighter than the Batard, yet is intense, concentrated, and has a long, admirably pure finish. Projected maturity: 2003-2013. Importer: Seagram Chateau and Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel. (212) 572-7725
