The 2000 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is drinking very well today, wafting from the glass with aromas of warm bread, ripe pears, citrus oil, mandarin, dried white flowers and a delicate top note of iodine. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, satiny and open-knit, with lively acids, a fleshy and moderately concentrated core and a nicely defined finish. From a vintage characterized by generous yields and an early harvest, the 2000 Chevalier's supple, generous and expressive personality is typical of the year. Now is a great moment to drink it. By the numbers, this attained 14% alcohol and a finished pH of 3.32.
