"20 to 25 year old vines aged in 50% new oak. Words cannot do true justice to a nose like this with its strong citrus, limestone and gorgeously elegant green fruit aromas that beautifully complement pure, silky and wonderfully focused medium full flavors that are so precise that this cuts like a knife through hot butter. As intense and mineral-driven as this is though, there are no hard edges and while there is an impressive acid backbone, the balance is absolutely above reproach. A genuinely great Chevalier and perhaps the best one Boudot has ever made; it certainly rivals both the '99 and the '00, both of which are also great efforts."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
