Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru--Vintage 1997
Domaine-bottled: Domaine Leflaive
In original wooden case
Tasting note: I adored the precision, purity, and vibrancy of the lemon-soaked minerals found in the 1997 Chevalier-Montrachets aromatics. It is a magnificent wine, combining refinement with power, as well as precision with richness. This medium-to-full-bodied, silky-textured, compelling offering regales the palate with grilled pears, chalk, and an expansive minerality. It has the density and ripeness characteristic of the 1997 vintage, yet the focus and brightness of 1996 a rare achievement. Projected maturity: 2002-2010. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate 123, June 1999.
