The 2016 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru has a very concentrated and intense bouquet with citrus fruit, wild mint, orange cordial and a hint of wild heather. The palate is fresh and tensile, very concentrated with a fine line of acidity, just a hint of blackcurrant leaf and curry leaf toward the finish. This is one of the best Chevalier-Montrachet’s out there, a beautifully crafted, succinct wine that should give two decades of drinking pleasure.
