Pale to mid lemon yellow. This is one of the riper noses where the pure chiselled white fruit of Chevalier is overlaid by a touch of honeysuckle. Which is not to disparage, because I like this wine very much, there’s a fresher fruit tension behind on the palate as well, and excellent length. It is actually very lovely. Very persistent.
Open and expressive, Sauzet's 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru bursts with notes of citrus oil, white flowers, toasted nuts and ripe apples. Medium to full-bodied, round and charming, it's lively and saline, with an open but precise profile. This appears to be a giving, immediate wine in the making.
A cuvée produced from purchased must, Sauzet's 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru delivers a pretty bouquet of citrus oil, white flowers, fresh peach and clear honey. Full-bodied, ample and incisive, it's beautifully defined, even if it can't match the depth and concentration of the Bâtard and Bienvenues.
Citrus fruits, almonds and buttery notes reveal themselves on the palate with power and elegance. The texture is creamy and caresses the palate with roundness. Our taste buds benefit from the complex and flamboyant finish! A tasting that you won't forget!
Food and wine pairings and service Swimming lobster, crayfish casserole, capon with white wine and morels, pike
Vineyard A plot of 9 hectares including 5 in Chassagne and 4 in Puligny. The Chardonnay vines are thirty years old at an altitude of 250 meters on clayey limestone soils.
Winemaking and aging Aging is done in oak barrels, 50% of which are new. This meticulous aging brings structure, roundness and complexity to this Grand Cru.
The 2016 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru was touched by the frost so that there are just two barrels instead of four. It turns the amp up on the Bâtard-Montrachet with even more expressive, mint-tinged citrus fruit complemented by scents of quince and passion fruit. There is just a slight hint of VA but nothing much. The palate is very well balanced with a ripe, saline entry, good weight in the mouth and a slightly rounded, dense finish that just misses the precision of either the 2014 or 2015, or even the detail of the Bâtard-Montrachet. Let's see how this evolves in bottle because at the moment the Bâtard-Montrachet is a couple of furlongs ahead (at least in barrel).
The 2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a powerful, almost show-stopping bouquet with intense yellow plum, Mirabelle and grey slate-like aromas that are beautifully defined. The palate is very well balanced, harnessing the richness of the growing season by keeping a tight rein thanks to the terroir. Great depth here, superb acidity and the finish is very complex, with hints of almond and grilled walnut on the persistent finish. This is an impressive Chevalier-Montrachet that represents a very worthy follow-up to the 2014.

Tasted blind, the 2010 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is developing an attractive bouquet with melted wax, resinous aromas with hints of dried honey and a faint whiff of French patisserie. The palate is showing good depth and vigor, quite spicy with hints of honey and quince showing up towards the second half. It is an extrovert Chevalier-Montrachet for sure, more cocksure than the 2011 perhaps, although it trips over its shoelaces on the finish that does not quite deliver the length to back up its bravado. Still, it is a thoroughly enjoyable grand cru that should give 12-15 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted October 2016.

La regione vinicola francese della Borgogna (detta anche "Bourgogne") può essere di piccole dimensioni, ma la sua influenza è enorme nel mondo del vino. La complessità della Borgogna può incutere timore anche a un esperto di vino, ma non temete: la regione deve essere complicata quanto voi volete che lo sia. È vero che qui si producono alcuni dei vini più costosi dell'universo conosciuto, ma ci sono anche vini gustosi e accessibili.

Uva principale:

Il Pinot Nero è originario della Borgogna e questi vitigni coprono il 34% della regione e rappresentano il 29% della produzione vinicola complessiva. L'uva rossa si adatta molto bene ai terreni calcarei e argillosi, il che contribuisce a creare la sua complessità. I vini di Pinot Nero della Borgogna hanno un colore che va dalla ciliegia al mattone, sono leggeri e hanno tipicamente sapori di frutta rossa e spezie. Anche il Gamay è un'uva rossa coltivata in Borgogna, ma rappresenta solo il 10% dei vitigni.

Lo Chardonnay è l'uva principale per i vini bianchi della Borgogna, con il 48% dei vitigni e il 68% della produzione. Lo Chardonnay apprezza il terreno marnoso della Borgogna, che gli conferisce delicati aromi floreali, fruttati e minerali e sapori corposi. L'Aligoté è la seconda uva bianca, con il 6% di produzione. {Per saperne di più sull'antica uva Aligoté in Borgogna.}

La regione produce un vino spumante chiamato Crémant de Bourgogne. Può essere prodotto con Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy e Melone. Le varietà includono blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs e rosé.
