The 2012 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from 2.5 hectares of vine, equivalent to one-third of the surface area. It has a generous bouquet with scents of lime flower and cold stone, hints of chestnut on the background. The palate is well-balanced with a fine line of acidity. This is well-balanced, very expressive with fine tension on the finish and a chalky aftertaste. Drink now-2030.
This fresh white is full of peach, quince and grapefruit flavors, showing hints of pineapple and spice. There's good balance between the creaminess and tangy acidity, and this ends with a long, spice- and mineral-inflected aftertaste.
