From: Burgundy, France
Varietal: Chardonnay
Taste & Critical Acclaim:
96-98 points Allen Meadows - Burghound
"Strikingly elegant, cool and restrained aromas are comprised by notes of citrus confit, mineral reduction, anise, exotic tea and the classic acacia blossom nuances. The almost painfully intense medium-bodied flavors are at once succulent yet chiseled while the practically pungent minerality adds a sense of lift to the hugely long finish that is youthfully austere and Zen-like in its harmony. This is quite simply majestic in its class and grace and i s a wine that should age effortlessly for years. *Burghound Don't Miss!*" (6/2022)
97-99pts Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy: "A little more lemon in the colour and notably more of the gunflint reduction. Pierre thinks this is at least in part typical of Chevalier. They are at the top of the vineyard, with just 30 hl/ha in 2020. Take your time and the fruit starts to push up through. All in white fruit, apples rather than pear or white peach, with still that smoky flinty quality in the background. Perfectly poised on the palate with length and class. Tasted: May 2022.:":
