Score 94+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2004

Bright, pale yellow. Compelling nose combines white flowers, pit fruits and minerals. Wonderfully dense and suave in the mouth, with supersweet but mouthwateringly tangy flavors of orange, pineapple and stone. A wine of great finesse, somehow managing to effortlessly balance huge ripeness and penetrating acidity. Finishes with superb stony persistence and mineral cut. A real vin de garde Girardin believes this is the best vintage for Chevalier-Montrachet since 1995 and 1992.

Score 93-94/100 · Drink 2008-2016, Pierre Rovani, Feb 2004

Liquefied minerals, slate, gravel, and pears can be discerned in the aromatic and flavor profiles of the 2002 Chevalier-Montrachet. Light to medium-bodied, packing fabulous concentration as well as a deep, complex character, this super-refined beauty of a wine boasts an exceptionally long, pure, and supple finish. It is not a blockbuster, but rather a graceful, highly nuanced gem. Projected maturity: 2008-2016. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802. In addition, Vincent Girardin sells many of these same wines under the Baron de la Charriere label to European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
