Tasting notes
Open and expressive, Sauzet's 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru bursts with notes of citrus oil, white flowers, toasted nuts and ripe apples. Medium to full-bodied, round and charming, it's lively and saline, with an open but precise profile. This appears to be a giving, immediate wine in the making.

The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru was served before the Bâtard-Montrachet as Riffaut finds this more elegant. It has a sophisticated bouquet with scents of orange blossom, tinned apricot, mirabelle and a cheeky hint of curry leaf. This is open and expressive. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, concentrated yet, as Riffaut suggested, a more elegant and feminine Chevalier than previous vintages with long sustain on the finish. Lovely, though maybe not as profound as the Bienvenues.
