A discreet whisper of the exotic adds breadth to the aromas of petrol, white flower, green apple, mineral reduction and lovely spice nuances. There is excellent richness to the big-bodied, powerful and concentrated flavors that possess evident minerality on the complex, highly complex and strikingly persistent finish. This is presently a block of stone that will require at least a few years to unwind while amply rewarding 12 to 15 years of upside development. (Drink starting 2030)
The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru derives from a new source, but it's as striking as ever, opening in the glass with a classy bouquet of citrus oil, white flowers, fresh pastry and blanched almonds. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, taut and chiseled, with terrific tension, lively acids and a long, chalky finish. This is worth a special effort to seek out.
