2012 Bouchard Pere Et Fils - Chevalier Montrachet (6L)

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

The 2012 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from 2.5 hectares of vine, equivalent to one-third of the surface area. It has a generous bouquet with scents of lime flower and cold stone, hints of chestnut on the background. The palate is well-balanced wit

Pale bright yellow. Subdued aromas of menthol, spices and minerals. Penetrating and powerful on the palate, with strong acidity and lemony cut accentuated by strong minerality. Has the buffering dry extract to support its touch of youthful bitterness on the back end. Today I prefer the young 2013 version but this really needs a minimum of four or five years of bottle aging to harmonize.- Stephen Tanzer (09/2014)
