Score 95+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2004

Full yellow. Highly nuanced aromas of honey, stone, minerals, caramel and spices. Drier and less expressive today than the Chevalier-Montrachet; less spherical and silky. Very intense, precise, linear flavors of lemon and dusty stone are perfectly framed by vibrant acids. Finishes with truly palpable minerality. This is Chevalier-Montrachet dirt speaking through chardonnay.

Score 95/100 · Drink 2006-2018, Pierre Rovani, Jun 2004

The fresh, mineral-dominated nose of the 2002 Criots-Batard-Montrachet leads to a hugely concentrated, deep, oily-textured personality packed with syrupy stones, spices, pears, sappy minerals, and copious spices. Medium-bodied and powerful, it also reveals an extraordinarily long, flavor-packed finish. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018. Importers include: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400; and Lauber Imports, Somerville, NJ; tel. (908) 725-2100
