The 2020 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru dominates the range this year, wafting from the glass with notes of waxy citrus zest, white flowers, nutmeg and wet stones, followed by a full-bodied, racy and electric palate, with a satiny attack that segues into a deep, seamless mid-palate. Chiseled and concentrated, uniting texture and tension, it concludes with a long, penetrating finish.
Opulent and mouthfilling, this is a powerful white, with lemon oil, sweet corn, peach, apple tart, stone and toasty oak flavors that resonate and build to the long, intense aftertaste.
