Score 90-93/100 · Drink 2002-2010, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2000

The highly impressive 1998 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte exhibits dense, ripe fruits in its expressive aromatics. This medium to full-bodied, plump, and compelling wine is layered with pears, apples, hazelnuts, and minerals. Highly focused, yet thick and rich, it is a profound 1998. Projected maturity: 2002-2010. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel (212) 888-7575.

Score 94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Very complex nose hints at orange peel, spiced bread, tea and honey. Impressive power and intensity on the palate, with racy acidity giving it structure and finesse. Has the richness and volume of Montrachet. Brisk, lemony finish of superb persistence. I'd never have picked this blind as a '98. One of the top wines of vintage.
