The 2012 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has very fine precision on the nose, expanding all the time with mineral notes, then later, dried flowers accompanied by a faint hint of licorice. The palate is very well-balanced and very powerful, much more than the Bienvenue and Batard-Montrachet. This has real density and poise with a long lime-tinged finish. This is a sophisticated wine, erudite and subtle, one not predisposed to flaunt itself in the flush of youth, but likely to repay 8 to 10-years aging.
