Bouchard Pere et Fils, Chevalier-Montrachet 2020
CRITIC REVIEWS
James Suckling
This chardonnay masterpiece is currently like a fully wound Breguet watch, but the extremely subtle nose of citrus, wild herbs and flowers is already breathtaking. Mind-blowing concentration, purity and precision on the generous but by no means massive palate. The really extraordinary thing is the intense crushed-stone minerality thats married to sensual creaminess on the mid-palate, then asserts itself ever more singularly at the finish, until its completely overwhelming. From 2.33 hecatres of vineyards on all four terraces of this famous site. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Charles Curtis MW
This is truly a classic of the house, which owns a total of 2.3ha spread over all four terraces of Chevalier. Each parcel is vinified individually to produce this magnificent wine that shows lemon peel and mineral notes on the initial attack, but continues to open up aromatically on the nose and on the palate, revealing rich flavours of marzipan, butter and beeswax. This is richer than the producers Corton-Charlemagne, and lingers delightfully on the very impressive finish. Superb wine, not to be missed.
