Note di degustazione
Very pale, green-tinged color. Captivating high-pitched aromas of lavender, herbs and dusty stone. Rich on entry, giving a dense, fine-grained, almost sweet impression, then surprising acidity and minerality enliven the middle palate. The finish conveys a slightly tannic impression but remains smooth and suave, not to mention very long. This classy Chevalier will need time to express itself.

Delicately fragrant – lemon and clementine and a minerally overlay. Freshness more evident than many in this vintage, but it is still surprisingly gentle given its youth. Sinewy and long. More intellectual than sensual. (JH)
Knockout nose combines crushed stone, lavender, violet and sea salt; this smells brisk! Wonderfully suave and silky on the palate, with terrific concentration to its crushed stone and floral flavors. Really an enormous wine but with no impression of heaviness. Finishes with outstanding rising length and seductive sweetness. Bouchard owns vines on "every level" of Chevalier-Montrachet, notes Prost, "so a blend really means something, since we have everything from an exotic piece to one that's high in acid."
