The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a very intense and well-defined bouquet of lemon sherbet and lemon thyme. The palate is tensile on the entry thanks to a fine silver bead of acidity. This is detailed, precise and saline, with a composed and persistent finish that drags you back for more. It has breeding and class. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. Score: 94 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2025-2055 01 August 2021 |

There is still a hint of unabsorbed SO2 surrounding the ever-so-mildly exotic nose of citrus, white fleshed fruit and spice. The dense, serious and powerful big-bodied flavors also exude evident minerality on the clean, dry and markedly compact finish that makes it clear that this will need at least some forbearance. Score: 93 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2027+ 10 June 2019 |

Just bottled under Diam 10, the 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of Meyer lemon, green apple, pastry cream and white flowers that's exactly as I remember it. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and attractively vibrant, with good depth and concentration at the core, succulent acids and a long, precise finish. Pure and delicate, this is a lovely Chevalier in an understated, makeup-free style that confirms its excellent showing from barrel. While it's a little shut down after the mise en bouteille, the charm and expressiveness of the vintage mean that it is still quite open for inspection.

The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru offers up aromas of lemon oil, pastry cream, white flowers, crushed rocks and mandarin. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with excellent concentration, chalky extract and juicy acids that lend the wine lovely precision, concluding with a pure, tongue-tingling finish. This is very promising and will be well worth seeking out. Score: 93 - 95 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 04 January 2019 |
