Reviews & Scores
A reserved nose is pure, cool and airy with its notes of spiced pear, citrus blossom and mineral reduction. There is genuinely striking intensity to the gorgeously detailed medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the driving and explosively persistent finish. This is a very powerful and concentrated effort that should offer terrific upside development potential and easily last for two decades. - BH

The 2012 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru has been vinified separately since 1992 and bottled separately since 1997 (apart from a few magnums.) It sees 20% new oak and just 1,500 bottles are produced. Judging them side-by-side, the La Cabotte is similar personality to the “regular” Chevalier, but there is a little more mineralite and delineation. The palate is slightly viscous on the entry and a touch spicier. Good depth in the mouth and very persistent on the finish, this is a very fine, vivacious grand cru. - WA

Very pale, slightly cloudy yellow. Lime, lemon and dusty herbs on the nose. Larger-scaled and showier than the "regular" Chevalier-Montrachet, with a lovely sugar/acid equilibrium to the rich peach flesh and saline mineral flavors. For such a powerful wine, this shows lovely early balance. Very long on the finish. This was made without any new oak, according to Philippe Prost, who noted that the best barrels for both this wine and the Chevalier-Montrachet are usually two years old. - VM
