CRITIC REVIEWS
Stephen Tanzer
(just ten hectoliters per hectare produced): Pale yellow with a green tinge. Captivating perfume of white peach, pineapple, flowers, minerals and crushed rock. Densely packed and tight but already shows a creaminess to its well-delineated flavors of pineapple, flowers and saline minerality. Still a bit edgy--even youthfully disjointed--on the subtle, very dry, rising finish.

"The 2016 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru, like the other of Leflaive's grand crus, was affected by the frost. This takes time to open but eventually reveals some lovely yellow flower, flint and oyster shell aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is understated on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, but maybe the Batard-Montrachet demonstrated a little more drive and nervosite. There is something sedate about this Chevalier-Montrachet, with a lovely touch of spice on the aftertaste."

So much more acidity than the Batard-Montrachet just tasted. Refinement and depth. Brilliant acidity and bright fruit. Race and depth with stones and lime. Very vibrant finish.
