Tasting notes
Bright yellow. Aromas of lemon and crushed rock. Very dense, fine-grained wine with penetrating mineral and crushed-stone flavors lifted by a lavender high note. Chewy and tactile without any rough edges. The very long finish leaves the palate vibrating. This very youthful 2015 grand cru should age slowly and gracefully.

The 2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has supreme focus and intensity on the nose: citrus peel, wet limestone, lanolin all veiled in a very subtle reduction without denuding this Grand Cru of the delineation you come to expect. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, bright and vivacious with superb mineralité and great persistence on the finish. This is a very composed and imperious Chevalier-Montrachet that does justice to this great vineyard.
Right above Le Cailleret. Pale lemon colour. Needs encouragement. Pure and precise but still pretty dumb. Some sweetness on the palate rather than massive intensity. Lots to chew on. (JR)
(aging in 30% new oak): Full, bright yellow. Captivating pineapple and white peach aromas and flavors are lifted by notes of anise, white flowers and white pepper. At once thick and juicy, communicating a sappy quality that's impressive for such a plush wine. This distinctly rich Chevalier-Montrachet finishes with impressive dusty minerality.
