The outstanding 2000 Criots-Batard-Montrachet bursts from the glass with minerals, stones, and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fat, and lush, this is a silky-textured wine of exceptional ripeness. Layers of oily pears, juniper berries, and spice-coated apples permeate the palate, lingering for an exceptionally long time. This superb 2000 should be at its best between 2004 and 2014.
