The 2000 Montrachet reveals a mouth-watering, sweet butter and candied pear-laced nose. Toasted minerals, crisp pears, and apples can be found in this outstanding wine's dense, silky-textured, medium body. Beautifully fashioned, it is loaded with depth and possesses a long, expressive finish. Projected maturity: now-2013.
