Score 90-93/100 · Drink 2003-2010, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2000

Bouchard's 1998 Montrachet is one of the finest wines fashioned in this vintage. Its mineral, hazelnut, and floral aromas give way to a rich, velvety, medium to full-bodied personality. This exciting wine has buttered popcorn, creamed mineral, spice, and pear flavors in its vibrant yet plump core of fruit. Exceedingly well-balanced and concentrated, it also possesses an intensely long and well-focused finish. Projected maturity: 2003-2010+. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel (212) 888-7575.

Very fresh, complex aromas of flower blossom, fresh herbs, linden tea and smoky, toasty oak. Thick on entry, but given clarity and brightness by firm acidity. More powerful and less subtle than the Cabotte, and not yet as expressive. Structured for long aging, and still rather tightly wound on the long finish.
