"From a tiny 0.04 ha parcel. A pungent nose reflects notes of citrus, wood toast and reduction. Otherwise there is more impressive volume and mid-palate density to the muscular, mouth coating and very serious big-bodied flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the impressively lengthy finish. This too is going to need at least a few years to add more depth but overall, it is an unusually powerful Chevalier."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2018 in Burgundy was hot and dry with a large crop, producing ripe, rich and powerful reds of generous fruit; the whites are full-bodied but require care, as some show lower acidity.
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.
