Salted butter and a myriad of spices can be found in the aromatics of the 2000 Chevalier-Montrachet. This highly delineated, light to medium-bodied wine is fresh, bright, and tangy. Minerals, limes, and lemons can be found throughout its flavor profile and its long, lace-like finish. Drink it over the next 10 years.
