Note di degustazione
Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of citrus fruits and rose petal. At once fine-grained and urgent, with harmonious citrussy acidity giving lift to the lemon-lime and floral flavors. Superb mineral energy partly makes up for the wine's lowish acidity (3.7 g/l). Really saturates the mouth and echoes on the finish, without leaving any impression of weight and echoes. Boudot believes that this wine will be good at every stage of its evolution.

The 2013 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a brooding intensity on the nose: citrus peel, wet stone (more granitic than the Bâtard-Montrachet at this stage), accompanied by subtle scents of white chocolate and brioche. The palate is fresh and vibrant with well-executed acidity, gradually building to another marine-influenced finish that lingers long and tenderly in the mouth. Is it better than the outstanding Bâtard-Montrachet? Let’s wait and see…
Pale, green-tinged color. Captivating high-pitched perfume of lemon, lime, powdered stone and lavender. Juicy, ripe and sexy, with lovely minerality taking the place of lowish acidity (at 3.7 grams per liter, this is the lowest along with the Garenne) and giving cut to the flavors of lemon, lime and white flowers. Wonderfully fine-grained, silky wine with a superb balance of fruit and minerality. This is carrying 1.8 grams per liter of residual sugar. Boudot notes that Chevalier-Montrachet is typically "good to drink at every period."
