Tasting notes
**Note: from a 2.54 ha parcel** More noticeable wood spice than in the prior wine combines with wonderfully pure green fruit and white pear aromas underscored by intensely stony notes, leading to ripe, chiseled, vibrant, wonderfully precise flavors that offer excellent definition. This really coats the palate and the finish lingers for several minutes. I like the punch here yet the intensity is delivered in an ultra refined, classy and pure style.

Crisp green apples and minerals are intermingled in the aromatic and flavor profiles of the 2002 Chevalier-Montrachet (domaine). Light to medium-bodied, tightly wound, and detailed, it exhibits an excellent resiny personality that will need to unwind in the coming months for it to merit an outstanding review. Projected maturity: 2005-2012. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 888-7575
Very winning and racy, yet with great depth. Quite curious terroir notes. Positively pebbly, with masses of acidity and bone dry. Very positive and confident, but certainly not massive. (JR)
