2021, Domaine de la Vougeraie, CHEVALIER-MONTRACHET, Grand Cru
$985
The 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is clean and precise on the nose, with fine mineralité in situ (more than the Bâtard-Montrachet) and touches of almond, hazelnut and lanolin. The palate is well-balanced and slightly honeyed in texture. It's powerful with good weight. It delivers a fine, quite nutty aftertaste. Very fine. 93-95 Neal Martin, Vinous.
The fullest yellow of the four grands crus. Slightly the richest nose, heady even with a light suggestion of over ripeness, in that sense less typically Chevalier. It is almost a wine in two halves with an exotic start and a more crystalline limestone finish. *** 92-94 Jasper Morris MW.
