Note di degustazione
The 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet Clos de Chevaliers Grand Cru has the unenviable task of following Leflaive's brilliant Chevalier. It is more tight-fisted and laconic by comparison, unveiling attractive almond and hazelnut scents alongside crushed stone with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a touch of reduction on the entry, but it has plenty of body and energy. Fresh-squeezed lime and citrus peel commingle towards the spicy finish that tingles on the tongue. It's not the complete package at the moment, but give it time. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet Clos de Chevaliers Grand Cru, which includes one new barrel out of the four (instead of the usual dozen), has a vivid bouquet with yellow fruit, nectarine, crushed limestone and subtle fumé aromas. The palate is well balanced with vibrant acidity, taut and fresh with notes of tangerine, citrus fruit and a pinch of spice. Linear in style, this lingers nicely, though it just needs a bit more nervosité on the finish. Still, this is very promising.
