Tasting Notes
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 93+ | |
| Discreet aromas of lemon, orange peel, minerals, coconut and marzipan. Tactile and sharply delineated, with the wine strong mineral spine buttressed by bright acidity. A wine of superb grip, but there's still some acidity to be absorbed. Chewy, impressively long finish features a ripe note of pineapple. I'd give this at least a few years of additional bottle aging. | |
| Robert Parker 93-94 | |
| Jadot's Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles is a fabulous wine. Its nose was slightly reticent the day of my tasting, reluctantly revealing nuts, minerals, and stones. However, its spectacular presence on the palate more than demonstrated its greatness. This is an offering of outstanding richness and density. It is crammed with candied hazelnuts, almonds, as well as spicy minerals. It also has an ethereal quality that I sometimes find in the best Chevaliers. This is one of the rare 1997s from the Cote de Beaune that will age for at least a decade. Drink it between 2003 and 2012. |
