CRITIC REVIEWS
William Kelley
In terms of concentration and complexity, the 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru cannot quite match the Batard this year, but it is a lovely wine, wafting from the glass with aromas of lemon oil, hazelnut cream, white flowers and crushed chalk. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny textured and pure, with a deep, layered core and a bright line of animating acidity, concluding with a long and nicely defined finish.

Racked and back to barrel in August. Will spend several months in tank before bottling in May. Broad and mealy on the nose, the lees effect dominating the fruit at first. Then there is an intensity of ripe green fruits just behind that leesy richness. Pulls in tight on the palate, the acidity and tension of a Riesling but the generosity and rounded texture of a grand cru Chardonnay. There's fruit depth but also a finesse that is the tension of lemon juice and wet stones on the finish " but the power is almost overwhelming at the moment. Endlessly long. Everything is intense but it is all in balance even now. Stunning wine. (JH)
