CRITIC REVIEWS
Stephen Tanzer
Bright light-medium yellow. Alluring scents of citrus fruits, white peach, oatmeal and rocky minerality complicated by toasty and yeasty nuances. Tactile, sweet and deep, with liquid stone, lemon cream and almond paste flavors giving the wine an almost velvety texture. This utterly seamless grand cru initially displayed a nutty note of maturity but got better and better with air while retaining its energy. Finishes very long and gripping, with an impression of slatey minerality. (13.5% alcohol; 3.18 pH; September 1 harvest start)
William Kelley
The 2007 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru opens in the glass with scents of lemon oil, clear honey, confit citrus, warm bread, almond paste and a very discrete touch of smoky reduction. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with unusual volume and breadth for the vintage, striking concentration and an incisive spine of acidity, concluding with a long, vibrant and chalky finish. While this 2007 is still a few years from true maturity, it clearly numbers among the wines of the vintage.

All tasted from tank at the winery with winemaker Eric Remy in Nov 2008. The wines are moved from barrel to cuve just before the harvest, so they usually spend about 3-4 months in tank. 25% new oak. An immediate impression of depth - like deep water calling to a diver. Light touches of mineral, spice, honey and citrus on the nose. On the palate, again depth but also concentration, mineral and almond flavours, lemon cream - full and alive and all waiting to blossom. (JH)
