The Clos des Chevaliers bottling is the gold standard for this great grand cru vineyard and Jean-Michel’s 2024 version is one of the finest I have ever tasted from him during his long career. The wine’s aromatic constellation is vibrant and utterly refined, offering up scents of apple, pear, fresh almond, a gorgeous base of chalky soil tones, crème pâtissière, lemon blossoms, white lilies and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, precise, deep and full-bodied, with a very elegant profile, stunning depth of succulent fruit at the core, great focus and balance, a lovely spine of acidity and a very, very long, complex and seamless finish. This is a brilliant wine. 2031-2070.

Harvested on 15 September, the 2024 Chevalier-Montrachet Clos de Chevaliers Grand Cru has a fragrant bouquet with citrus fruit, hints of fern and fennel, crushed stone surfacing with aeration. Impressive delineation here. The palate is very well balanced with spot-on acidity, bright and vivacious, though very complex with a mineral-driven finish that is top notch. Certainly this is as good as the 2023. Excellent.(NM)

Mid lemon and lime. More white fruit on the nose, a greater sense of class, not just more open. This is remarkably stylish, a fully worthy Chevalier, the fruit floating on top of the bone structure. Very well done. 7 barrels made Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Oct 2025.
