Score 93/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jul 2001

Wonderfully intense and a clear step up from the premiers crus with beautifully detailed fruit offering both citrus and minerality merging seamlessly into deep, concentrated flavors of remarkable complexity and a long, intense and compelling finish. There are those who argue that the Bâtard is Niellon's best wine but for my taste, in most vintages it is the Chevalier that impresses me the most. This is slightly riper than the typical Niellon Chevalier but a lovely wine just the same.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2004-2012, Pierre Rovani, Feb 2001

Niellon's 1999 Chevalier-Montrachet reveals gorgeously pure mineral aromas. Medium-bodied, refined, and highly delineated, this satin-textured wine offers stone, crisp pear, and apple flavors in its deep personality. It has a long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2012. Importer: Chateau & Estate Wine Co., New York, NY; tel (212) 572-7725.
