Bouchard's overall quality level in 1992 is good to very good. No complaint about a lack of depth or intensity can be lodged against the 1992 Chevalier-Montrachet. It is backward, dense, unevolved, and needing at least 3-4 years of bottle age; it should keep for at least a decade. The Bouchards have made significant changes in their white winemaking philosophy. Since 1989 the white wines have been put through malolactic and vinified in barrels, of which 15% are new. More extensive lees contact, lower vineyard yields, and less traumatic clarification and filtration techniques, have resulted in the best group of white wines Bouchard has produced in over two decades.
