Domaine d’Auvenay, owned and run by Lalou Bize-Leroy, sits at the very highest echelon of Burgundy production with wines that are almost unparalleled in rarity and quality. In the words of renowned critic Robert Parker, "The 2002 Chevalier-Montrachet boasts aromas of liquid minerals and fresh flowers. This silky, graceful, powerful wine offers mouth-coating waves of honeyed minerals, sappy resin, and spices in its exceptionally classy, detailed, and awesomely balanced personality. In addition, this noble, majestic effort possesses a finish that lasts for almost a minute. In short, it is a stunning, awe-inspiring example of its world-renowned vineyard." Drinking beautifully now.

The 2002 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru appears to be at the peak of its almighty powers. The aromatics are thrilling. It is pure liquid minerals with astonishing delineation and focus. You almost feel humbled in its presence. The palate has formidable weight and penetration, a perfect silver bead of acidity and it fans out gloriously towards the finish with lemon peel, spice and grilled hazelnuts. There is incredible persistence in the mouth, completing a white Burgundy that comes damn close to perfection. I cannot see it improving further with bottle age so those lucky enough to possess a bottle should not hesitate enjoying this awe-inspiring wine.
