2000 Chevalier Montrachet La Cabotte
Buying options
Tasting Notes
Very closed on the nose. Extremely concentrated and sharply delineated, with great spine and cut. Powerfully minerally flavors of stone, chalk and spices. Impressively ripe and chewy; more "important" than the regular Chevalier-Montrachet, with compelling density of material and a kaleidoscopic, palate-staining finish.

This densely packed wine is ample, harmonious, and displays an admirably long, delineated finish. Projected maturity: 2004-2012.
