Chevalier-Montrachet 2000

Chevalier-Montrachet by Michel Colin-Deléger is one of the crown jewels of Burgundy, crafted entirely from Chardonnay. The 2000 vintage, with its extended bottle aging, is truly in its prime now. Known for its exceptional quality even among grand cru vineyards, it’s a must-try for anyone serious about white Burgundy.

In Volume 18 of 'Drops of God', this wine is served at the wedding of Mikashima and Guillemard, marking it as the fifth Apostle. It's a symbolic wine, representing the joy of overcoming trials. As the characters sip this wine, they taste the sweet success that follows hard-earned victory.

As you pour it into the glass, you're greeted with a beautiful golden hue. The aromas are deeply layered, with nuances of toasted bread and vanilla from barrel aging. You'll also notice ripe pear and white peach, offering a complex yet harmonious bouquet.

On the palate, it's creamy yet invigorated by lively, sharp acidity. The rich texture from oak aging enhances the depth of this wine, leaving you with a long, lingering finish. Serve it at around 12–14°C to fully appreciate its elegance. Perfect for a special occasion, don't you think?
