Tasting notes
A zesty, herb-tinged, mineral-styled effort, the light straw-colored 1999 exhibits closed flavors, good acidity, but little depth and follow through on the palate. Bottled Domaine de Chevaliers are tricky to taste, but the 1999 does not appear to have enough depth or intensity, particularly when compared to the 2001 and 2000. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015. Last tasted, 3/02.
