Grilled oak, smoke, minerals, and notes of leather can be discerned in the aromatic profile of the 2003 Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles (white). Broad, suave, and silky-textured, this is a medium-bodied wine with considerable depth and length. Its flavor profile, dominated by spicy minerals as well as pears, is engaging and expressive. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2014. Maison Louis Latour has numerous importers across the United States.

What a powerhouse of flavors: white and yellow fruit, herbs and spicy wood, but still exhibiting some of the finesse and elegance for which this grand cru vineyard is noted. Ripe fruit means that this is not a wine for long aging, but it will certainly give pleasure over the next several years. Imported by Louis Latour.——R.V.(9/1/2005)—— 94
