Tasting Notes

Multidimensional aromas of lemon, lime, powdered stone and white flowers. Dense, silky and fat with fruit. There's incredible depth, volume and extract to the pineapple, stone and floral flavors but a complete absence of rough edges and no sense of excess weight. The compellingly sweet finishing flavors of lime and flowers are unflagging. A big boy but still an infant-and a great wine in the making. 97+

Score: 97

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 September 2007

Vibrant, compelling aromas of lemon, flowers, minerals and creme fraiche Then dense, sweet and penetrating, with multidimensional flavors of peach, orange, lemon, flowers, minerals and crushed stone. Finishes with great class and lift to its pineapple and lemon flavors.

Score: 93 - 96

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 July 2006

A superbly elegant, stylish and high-toned orange blossom and spice-suffused nose nuanced by hints of wet stone and lime merges into slightly toasty and flavors that are built on a base of firm minerality and culminate in a rich, powerful and hugely long finish. This is always a very fine Chevalier but in '05 it's even better than usual and worth a look.

Score: 94
