Starting with marked notes of gunpowder, the nose gently unfolds with green pear peel, baking spices, plumcots and nectarines. A sprinkling of Maldon salt graces the succulent, palate-drenching finish. The lusty, fresh fruit has easily absorbed the discreet, 20% new oak. Crystalline acidity gives the wine an impressive arc of graceful tension. Nuanced, sappy and harmonious, this is beautiful now but has excellent aging potential. This is a "true" Chevalier that is a blend of the four terraces.

Note: from a 2.54 ha parcel. Ripe yet attractively fresh aromas are comprised by notes of prominent mineral reduction, citrus confit, pear and a wonderfully broad array of floral elements. The mouthfeel of the larger-bodied and solidly concentrated flavors is positively gorgeous while brimming with the hallmark stoniness of a great Chevalier, all wrapped in a precise, firm and hugely long finale. This is an old school Chevy that is really quite stunning.*Burghound Don't Miss!*

Mid to full lemon yellow. The bouquet makes an immediate statement of sun-kissed Chevalier. Somewhat citrus, pure white fruit otherwise, the fruit develops very nicely across the palate, with medium to long finish. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted Nov 2025.
