This staggeringly good wine is perhaps just ahead of last year's monumental effort, with profuse aromas that range from ripe pear, melon and crisp nectarine to white flowers, spice and butter. There is a balance of lovely intensity, weight and a creamy texture that seemingly lasts forever. The wine is a product of technical director Frédéric Weber's precision winemaking, with each section of their massive 0.89ha holding grown and vinified separately. Still maturing, this will be a wine for the ages. Ideally, one would wait at least a decade before opening this, but it will last 70 years or more.(CC)

There is a difference with Cabotte. The fruit here swells immediately on the palate, golden grapes, such a lively tension here which is amazing given the wealth of fruit. The sucrosity makes one ask the question if there is residual sweetness but no. Just an immense mouthful. Drink from 2033-2045. Tasted Nov 2025.

This is a firm, restrained Montrachet, basted in minerality—very typical of the Puligny side of the Grand Cru. It feels very much in line with the domaine's Chevalier wines. The mid-palate shows power and potential with its tightly-wound, steely acidity and compact fruit core. Granny Smith apples, lemon zest, peonies, digestive cracker and marzipan create glorious complexity today. The oak treatment is impressively subtle. This is a long-haul wine given its millefeuille of flavors and thrillingly long finish.
