The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is very promising, exhibiting notes of orange oil, peach and pear complemented by hints of nutmeg and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, bright and layered, it's ample but precise, with tangy acids and a long, mineral finish. As readers will remember, this bottling hails from the three terraces on the hillside above Bouchard's La Cabotte, their bottling from the latter—which adjoins Montrachet itself—being more muscular and powerful, whereas this cuvée is finer-boned and more ethereal.

The usual blend of the four terraces, the 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet featuring delicate scents of yellow plum, citrus fruit, flint and smoke. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Quite taut on the entry, and a fine saline undertow enlivens the finish. A classically styled Chevalier, though I would like to see more mineralité.

Cask sample. Gentle and deep-flavoured. Good balance of ripe fruit and acidity. Really exciting and long with greengage flavours. Very long. Intense and definitely grand cru status. Not sweet but very refreshing. Just a little more middle of the road than some examples but impressively persistent.

Since 1731, Bouchard Pere et Fils has carefully acquired some of the best Cote d'Or vineyards, including 12 Grand Cru and 74 Premier Cru. Their most famous vineyard, Beaune Greves Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus, was added during the French Revolution when property from clergy and nobility was seized and put up for sale. Bouchard Pere et Fils are wine growers, producers and negociants and they have played a significant role in the history of Burgundy.
