"Saturated, powerful and focused fruit of dried citrus peel, white flowers plus a hint of green apple are framed by a deft touch of pain grille, merging into massively proportioned flavors that display seemingly endless reserves of sappy extract. There is no denying the sheer magnitude of the flavor impact and drive and the intensity builds from the mid-palate and continues on to the phenomenally long back end. Montrachet is rarely an understated wine yet this manages to be both powerful and reserved, effortlessly combining the sheer elegance and minerality of fine Chevalier with the robust power and muscularity of great Batard. This will eventually be counted among the greatest wines of the 2000 vintage."
