The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru has a crisp, Granny Smith, granite-scented bouquet that is very tightly wound like the Chevalier. The palate is beautifully balanced, clean and precise, and yet I find myself leaning towards the Chevalier-Montrachet as Mounier's best white 2014. Why? The knightly Montrachet has a little more verve and substance, speaks of its terroir with slightly greater clarity.
