Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Bouchard's 2014 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru has a much more tropical-driven bouquet with scents of mango and nectarine developing in lieu of the mineralite you would expect from this vintage. The palate is well balanced with a tropical-tinged entry and well-judged acidity, but maybe a Chevalier that was picked a bit too late like that of Olivier Leflaive? It needs more mineralite and race on the finish to be up there with the best. Oct 2017, www.robertparker.com
