Note di degustazione
The Chevalier-Montrachet is very different to Alvina Pernot’s Bâtard. It’s as powerful and complex, yet much fresher – more dominated by mineral tones, strikingly so. It is as complex as the Bâtard, but with an additional layer of savoury richness underlining the fruit. It’s textured, with a creamy weight of fruit and beautiful tension that drives an almost absurdly long finish. There is plenty of potential here, but it will need time in the cellar to deliver on that promise. Only one barrel made, with no new oak.

Cool, pure and airy aromas are once again very restrained if exceptionally pretty with its array of Granny Smith apples, wet stone, spicy exotic tea, anise and elegant floral nuances. There is almost painful intensity if only average density to the focused and solidly powerful larger-scaled flavors that brim with minerality on the precise, sleek and impressively long finale. This needs more depth but young Chevalier is often seemingly a bit monotone; besides, the structure makes clear that this is very much built to repay extended keeping. Drink 2034+
The 2022 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is a return after missing in 2021 and comes from an exchange in must. The very precise on the nose offers hints of brioche, chalk and yellow fruit, unwinding with each swirl of the glass. The palate is well-balanced, feisty and intense, with a lot of weight and grip on the back end. This is quintessential ChevalierMontrachet; it will give 20-30 years of d
Clear pale lemon and lime. The bouquet has not emerged yet but this has come out extremely well on the palate, with the refined white fruit of the appellation. Clearly a hillside wine, with grand cru intensity, not overtly powerful, but very long.

Alvina Pernot is one of the most exciting producers of white Burgundy today. Based in Puligny-Montrachet with some incredible vineyards, this is a name to watch – creating taut and mineral styles of white Burgundy.
