The 2013 Chevalier-Montrachet la Cabotte has more intensity on the nose than the regular Chevalier, perhaps you could say more “exotic,” with heightened white peach and candied orange-peel scents neatly interwoven with the cold wet pavement scents. The palate is tighter and more reticent than the regular Chevalier-Montrachet, which comes as a surprise. But there is intensity locked inside this Grand Cru, a sense of purpose here and it finally (belatedly?) fans out gloriously on the finish. Superb.
A rich and juicy style, this white delivers peach, apple tart and spice aromas and flavors, backed by lively structure. Intense and resonant on the long aftertaste.
