Score 93/100 · Drink 2020-2033, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jan 2021

Chavy produced a single barrel of the 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, the fruit of a must exchange with Jean-Michel Chartron. Exhibiting aromas of pear, white flowers, peach and spicy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, textural and layered, with the broadest shoulders and most mid-palate amplitude of any wine in the range.

The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is (as usual) an exchange of juice with Jean-Michel Chartron - one barrel for two barrels of Folatières and three barrels of Puligny Villages. It has a clean, precise bouquet, cold, wet limestone intermingling with citrus lemon and subtle smoky aromas. Not intense, but very focused. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, and then the purity takes over – and boy, this is a very pure Chevalier-Montrachet, offering lemon curd, peach skin, pineapple and crushed stone notes. It feels very long but at the same time quite tender. A lovely Chevalier-Montrachet from Chavy.
