Aromas of peat, iodine, marzipan and baked bread, with high-toned spices in the background. Huge, saline and deep but still a baby. This monumental wine is still youthfully monolithic (Saouma referred to it as "a project"). Offers powerful citricity for such a thick wine and finishes with outstanding salinity and length. Today the explosive Chevalier-Montrachet is far more expressive. Score: 93 - 96 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 September 2016 |

The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru has a crisp, Granny Smith, granite-scented bouquet that is very tightly wound like the Chevalier. The palate is beautifully balanced, clean and precise, and yet I find myself leaning towards the Chevalier-Montrachet as Mounier's best white 2014. Why? The knightly Montrachet has a little more verve and substance, speaks of its terroir with slightly greater clarity.
