Tasting Notes
The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, raised in a single 350-litre used barrel, was racked the week before my visit. As the first barrel was new, the wood influence is quite pronounced at the moment, though that will be assimilated by the time of bottling. The palate is fresh and delineated with candied orange peel and apricot notes. Again, there is a touch of vanilla from new oak but again, that will go with time. Good depth and very persistent on the finish. Very good potential but it will require cellaring. (92-94) points - Neal Martin
Moreau produced 350 liters of the 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, a wine that was fermented in a new large barrel before being racked to a three-year-old barrel to finish its élevage on the lees. Offering up inviting aromas of crisp orchard fruit, mint, nutmeg and baking spices, it's full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a bright, chiseled profile and fine depth at the core. (94 - 96) points - William Kelley
