Chevalier Montrachet 2013 Domaine Leflaive

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a powerful but controlled bouquet with scents of dried honey, brioche and orange blossom, a touch of mineralité tucked just behind. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, lively in the mouth with very impressive weight, retaining superb delineation and focus on the gunflint finish that has more to give, and it will with 4-5 years in bottle. This is sophisticated and entrancing.

Pretty pale yellow green. Very obviously refined and grand cru quality. Already quite subtle. Great weight on the palate and interest on the nose. Very exciting and nervy. But with the extra undertow of a grand cru.
