This Grand Cru is located just above the Montrachet Grand Cru on the Puligny side. Atop the climat, the slope becomes steeper and the soil more shallow. Further east, closer to the Montrachet, the soil deepens and turns dark red due to the increased presence of iron. The temperatures are slightly cooler than Montrachet because of the higher altitude, and the soils are rich with gravel. Thus, the wines usually show an intense minerality, the sign of the great Chevalier-Montrachet.
Vinous (Neal Martin):
“The 2022 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru bursts from the glass with scents of crushed limestone, lemon thyme, a touch of orange blossom and linseed. This wine shows lovely, life-affirming complexity and intensity. The palate is harmonious with a killer line of acidity. It’s incredibly pure, and there’s a peacock’s tail on the finish. The 2022 builds supremely well with each sip and conveys a sense of completeness that is just very Chevalier-Montrachet. Magnificent.”
