Tasting notes
The 2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru currently shows a lot of reduction on the nose, although there is plenty of fruit packed behind. The palate is rounded on the entry with moderate acidity, but again, the reduction is suppressing the fruit at the moment. Yet it does convey a sense of purity, and the harmony is tangible behind that reductive veneer. Give this four or five years in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru consists of two barrels this year. It clearly has the best bouquet out of all the domaine's whites this year, conveying more mineral tension and complexity than the rest. The palate is very well balanced with hints of fresh pear and quince, a very fine line of acidity and just a subtle reductive note on the finish that lends tension and length. This is very fine and perversely, seemed better than the 2014 last year.
