"From a tiny 0.1 ha parcel of vines planted in 1952 and aged in 100% new oak. Remarkably, as elegant as the Perrières indisputably is, the Chevalier is even more so with its ultra-classy, pure and refined aromatic profile that features floral, white fruit and wet stone aromas. The almost painfully intense and chiseled flavors reflect the purity of the nose and the purity of the palate is positively crystalline. The impeccably well-balanced and explosively long finish is a fitting end to this incredible effort that is among the very finest examples of the vintage. Magnificent."

A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
