Tasting notes
The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a pure bouquet that blossoms in the glass, with perfumed orange pith, jasmine and light waxy scents. The palate is beautifully balanced with a silky texture, perfectly judged acidity, light spice notes and a touch of chamomile and white pepper toward the finish. Perhaps it needs just a touch more persistence on the aftertaste? This is a very promising Chevalier-Montrachet if your expectations are not sky high. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from a single parcel within the Grand Cru next to Leroy and Leflaive - not a bad place to be located! Matured entirely in new 500-litre barrels, it has an intense bouquet with freshly squeezed lime, citrus peel and crushed rock, a hint of peony emerging with aeration. The palate is well balanced with impressive depth, a fine bead of acidity, quite saline and spicy, especially the latter towards the persistent finish. A very capable Chevalier-Montrachet, one that I think will bide its time.
