96 AM "From a 2.54 ha parcel that gave only 25 hl/ha . . . due to the very tiny berries that had little juice. Prost was, justifiably, extremely proud of this wine and observed that it may be the best 'straight' Chevalier that he's ever made. Not surprisingly, this is a good deal more elegant than the Bâtard with gorgeously pure floral and white fruit, stone and subtle spice aromas that seamlessly merge into the almost painfully intense and vibrant flavors that, like the Perrières, possess crystalline purity and huge length. This is a knockout Chevy and if you can find it, don't miss it."
