The 2010 Chevalier-Montrachet is the vinous equivalent of cashmere. Impossibly elegant and refined, the Chevalier emerges from the glass with the most beautiful aromas and flavors imaginable. It is just as refined and aristocratic on the palate, where nuance, detail and crystalline purity reign supreme. This dazzling, drop-dead gorgeous wine is a pure pleasure to taste. Frankly, it is impossible to spit. (AG)

Review Date: 08/2013
The 2010 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a more succinct bouquet compared to the Batard-Montrachet ‘10, with traces of fresh peach, lemon curd and papaya that are pure but not powerful. These are aromas that you have to seek out, whereas the Batard is more generous, at least at this early juncture. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry adorned with the faintest touch of wild honey. The acidity is very well-judged although the finish just tends to close down a little. Very fine and very regal. (NM)

Notes

97 points, Stephen Stanzer for Vinous: "Aromas and flavors of passion fruit, coconut and white chocolate lifted by mineral, rose petal and lavender high notes. At once utterly silky in texture and penetrating in its crushed-rock minerality, boasting great energy and intensity and conveying a powerful impression of dry extract. Combines outstanding finesse and pure soil expression. A grand cru of extraordinary length, this was as palpable on my palate after I spit." (9/2012)
