About this Item

Louis Latour
Chevalier-Montrachet 1997
1 (1 x 1) 750ml
Chevalier-Montrachet sits higher up the same hillside as the Montrachet appellation. In 1913 Domaine Louis Latour purchased this 0,51 hectare vineyard from the widow of Léonce Bocquet, who initiated renovations of a part of the Clos Vougeot Château. This vineyard carries the name "Les Demoiselles" in hommage to the daughters of an early 19th century Beaune General, Adèle and Julie Voillot, who were the owners of the vineyard and who died without marrying.

Producer Notes: Clear and bright with a light gold colour with green tints. Although shut down it displays a floral honeyed nose with creamy vanilla toast flavours. The palate is delicious, it's floral and honeyed nectar, so light in the mouth but full of complex flavours. Citrus / apple, with nutty tropical flavours, follow balanced acidity and toasty oak flavours.

Critics Ratings

'The 1997 Chevalier-Montrachet is refined, focused, and well balanced. Minerals, toast, and floral scents are followed by a rich, full-bodied, and detailed personality. Flavors reminiscent of sea shells, stones, grilled oak, and flint are found in this oily-textured, dense, and complex wine. While it reflects the vintage's richness, weight, and fat, it also offers delineation, precision, and is slightly less evolved. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2008.' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 92-94/100 (Jun 1999)
