2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru La Vougeraie

Noble pale primrose, lifted and very fine. There are some attractive lime blossom notes so they evidently did not let this get too ripe. The crystal clear-cut aromatics ensures that the 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet starts well and it delivers further in the mouth with this lime note following all the way through. Very classy.

More restrained and cooler aromas display notes of white flowers, pear, apple, jasmine tea and dried apricot where the wood treatment is more subtle. The larger-scaled flavors possess a gorgeous texture thanks to the abundant dry extract that imparts a seductively sappy quality to the powerful yet refined finish that is even more structured. This bone-dry and lemony effort is clearly built for long-term keeping so at least some patience advised. (92-95)/2034+
