The 2014 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with granite and flint intermixed with apricot blossom, lemon curd and later, yellow flowers. This is mercurial in the glass, constantly bringing you back. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity -- nectarine and white peach, a touch of the fine lees towards the finish that fans out gloriously. Long in the mouth, nuanced and charming, there is a sense of completeness emanating from this "knight". Is it the best 2014 Chevalier-Montrachet that I tasted from barrel? Maybe not, but it is still a very fine Grand Cru.
