Wine Reviews
The 2024 Montrachet Grand Cru has another well-defined nose, though juxtaposed against the Chevalier this does not contain the same amplitude or refinement. The palate is intense and broad-shouldered, the richness counterbalanced by the acidity. A little spicier than the Chevalier-Montrachet on the finish, this lingers in the mouth. A serious Montrachet that should give 20 or 30 years’ drinking pleasure.
Hints of wood toast and petrol add breadth to the ripe, elegant and admirably pure nose of citrus confit, jasmine tea, acacia, lavender and assorted white orchard fruit. There is excellent richness to the full-bodied and opulent but focused big-bodied and imposingly powerful flavors that also possess plenty of dry extract while exhibiting huge length on the compact finale.
