Tasting notes
(50% new oak): Bright, pale yellow-green. White peach flesh and nectarine aromas are complicated by high-toned herbs and spices and a whiff of lavender sea salt on the compellingly complex nose. Densely packed, salty wine with terrific fruit intensity and harmonious acidity. Boasts superb precision but also a rich, pliant texture for the year. The very long, palate-staining finish throws off notes of fleur de sel and violet. Showing beautifully today.

The 2014 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru has a taut and linear bouquet with touches of granite and flint infusing the green apple and citrus fruit, very nicely focused, with the 50% new oak (one barrel!) nicely integrated. The palate is fresh and vibrant; there is good weight here with nicely integrated oak, and a slightly waxy texture with a long and sensual finish. This is an excellent Chevalier-Montrachet from Jacques Prieur.
