Dancer produces one barrel of Chevalier-Montrachet from a parcel planted in 1952. His 2000 reveals intense liquid mineral and spice aromas. It is medium to full-bodied, oily-textured, plump, thick, and chewy. Loaded with viscous layers of pear and apple compote, this spicy wine combines freshness with fat exceptionally well. Projected maturity: now-2013.
