1995 Louis Jadot Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles Magnum: 1.5 liters

According to Lardiere, the Batard had 13.7% natural sugar, eclipsing the Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles's 13.5%. I've been lucky enough to drink the '85 and '86 Chevaliers recently, and I can attest to the fact that these wines age admirably. The 1995's nose displays butter, minerals, stones and spice. The flavors present fabulous harnessed fruit with well-integrated acidity. This high-class wine possesses formidable structure and impressive persistence; it will drink well for 15 to 20 years, but it begs for another 6 years of cellaring to open up. Regrettably, there were only 100 cases produced of this sublime Chevalier.
