The 2014 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has an enticing, subtle bouquet, timid at first but soon finding its voice and developing attractive citrus peel, yuzu and tinned apricot scents all struck through with tangible mineral tones. The palate is well balanced with impressive weight in the mouth. It never lets everything go, preferring to remain linear and maintain precision, gently fanning out towards the finish with a pinch of white pepper and vibrant citrus fruit. This is a very well-crafted Chevalier-Montrachet that is imbued with a sense of joie-de-vivre.

About this wine
Bouchard Père & Fils hold a significant parcel in Chevalier-Montrachet, one of Burgundy's most celebrated Grand Cru sites on the Côte de Beaune. The vines are farmed biodynamically, and the wines are made at Bouchard's cellars in Beaune by a team with deep experience in the appellation.
Chevalier-Montrachet sits above Le Montrachet itself, producing Chardonnay of distinctive tension and minerality, typically leaner and more chiselled than its neighbour, with citrus, white stone fruit, and a long, saline finish. On board, pour it alongside lobster, hand-dived scallops, white truffle preparations, or anything that rewards a wine with real backbone and precision.
