Tasted Friday, June 17, 2011 by aagrawal with 835 views
This was an excellent tasting with may outstanding wines and a few disappointments (82 Las Cases...). The pours were very small, though I did try to go back and re-taste a few (like the Las Cases) that I was surprised by the first time around. Still, if I get to try these again, those notes will supersede these ones.
Overall, some excellent burgundy whites, two excellent red burgundies, a handful of outstanding cabs, and lovely ports to finish.
2002 Chartron et Trébuchet Chevalier-Montrachet Clos des Chevaliers 88 Points

Full, funky, hint of mint; palate is also full but low on flavor. 88-89
