2020 Chevalier Montrachet
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2020 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of confit citrus, pear, freshly baked bread, hazelnuts, pastry cream and white flowers. Full-bodied, ample and seamless, it's layered and concentrated, with lively acids and a long, saline finish.

Picked on 24th August at13.5% alcohol. There is a really racy tension here on the nose, strict white fruit, then the concentration really kicks in, perfect crisp white fruit, a sense of licking the limestone, all the weight necessary, and not too much overt power. Exactly how Chevalier-Montrachet should be. Tasted Oct 2021.
