The 2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is a magical wine, offering up a youthfully reserved bouquet of lemon oil, preserved citrus, white flowers, subtle oak vanillin, wheat toast and a smoky top note. On the palate, the wine is searingly intense, with superb concentration, lovely depth and dimension and incredible energy in this ripe white Burgundy vintage. Unsurprisingly, this is the most tensile, vertical wine in the Ramonet cellars this year and will benefit accordingly from bottle age.

Regnard Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 1999 is an exquisite, mature Burgundian Chardonnay produced in the celebrated Premier Cru vineyards of the Côte de Beaune. This grand vin owes its elegance to Maison Regnard, one of Chablis' oldest houses, whose production is steeped in tradition yet underpinned by modern winemaking techniques. Harvested by hand and aged in oak for a minimum of 18 months, the richly flavoured green-gold vintage embodies eloquence in a bottle.

Its full-bodied palate reveals balanced acidity and a complexity that only comes from well-aged wine, intermingling flavours of ripe pears, honey, almonds and earthy undertones. The finish lingers, soft and buttery yet with a hint of minerality typical of Chardonnay's of this calibre. Experts laud Regnard Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 1999 as a testament to Regnard's exceptional traditional winemaking practices, a true masterpiece that is testament to one of Burgundy's proudest heritages.

This is also wonderfully pure, elegant and ultra-fresh with an equally floral-inflected nose of lemon zest, wet stone and an herbal tea hint. There is an evident minerality to the beautifully detailed and highly energetic middle weight plus flavors that possess superb depth on the gorgeously textured, focused and firm finish. This isn't quite as refined as the Perrières but it's notably more powerful and should ultimately prove to the more complete wine if allowed to reach its apogee.

The 2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru currently shows a lot of reduction on the nose, although there is plenty of fruit packed behind. The palate is rounded on the entry with moderate acidity, but again, the reduction is suppressing the fruit at the moment. Yet it does convey a sense of purity, and the harmony is tangible behind that reductive veneer. Give this four or five years in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2016 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru has a very concentrated and intense bouquet with citrus fruit, wild mint, orange cordial and a hint of wild heather. The palate is fresh and tensile, very concentrated with a fine line of acidity, just a hint of blackcurrant leaf and curry leaf toward the finish. This is one of the best Chevalier-Montrachet’s out there, a beautifully crafted, succinct wine that should give two decades of drinking pleasure.

The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru showed just a little reduction on the nose, displaying a faint cough candy scent along with yellow flowers and lemon thyme; an underlying steeliness emerges with continued aeration. The palate has a lime- and orange-peel-tinged entry, good weight and less reduction than the aromatics. It feels fresh and lightly spiced toward a citric, energetic, complex finish. This has a lot of potential and was easily the best showing from the estate at the Burgfest blind tasting.

The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from a 0.151-hectare parcel of vines. It has the best tension and terroir expression of Vougeraie’s white Grand Crus, featuring gunflint-tinged green apples. The palate is well balanced with quite a powerful, intense opening. Honeyed in texture, displaying notes of lemon curd and mango, it leans to the tropical side of things toward a finish that just denudes it of some of the tension promised by the aromatics.
