Chevalier Montrachet, Sauzet

Note:

An ultra-elegant nose is comprised of primarily floral and white orchard fruit with top notes of citrus and Chablis-style mineral reduction where the latter element accurately telegraphs the presence of an intense stoniness on the cuts-like-a-knife flavors that are not quite as delicate as those of the Bienvenues but almost. In exchange however they possess more power and all of the refinement before culminating in a bone dry finish that is notably more restrained and while hugely long, not really explosive. This is a stylish Chevalier of class and grace and should amply repay 10 to 12 years of cellar time.
