Tasting notes
The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a clean, precise bouquet, perhaps a little more floral than its peers; hints of mango and lemon thyme emerge with time. The palate is well balanced, taut and fresh, delivering fine delineation and a bracing, spicy finish. There is an appealing crescendo to this Chevalier-Montrachet, and just the right amount of bitterness on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.

Sexy peach flesh sweetness on the nose, with complicating notes of flowers and sexy minerality. Wonderfully silky, plush, edge-free grand cru with very ripe stone fruit, orange zest and pineapple flavors to the fore today. A generous wine with lovely mounting length. Dominated by its ripe fruit today but there's nothing extreme about this wine. This parcel was actually harvested on September 1, before the rest of Colin's vineyards, at 13.1% potential alcohol.
