The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru is also showing very well from bottle, opening in the glass with a lovely bouquet of crisp green orchard fruit, citrus oil, white flowers, blanched almonds and wheat toast. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a deep and layered core, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. While this can't quite match the mid-palate volume of the Montrachet, it certainly nods to Montrachet in style. Readers able to track down a few bottles should plan on exercising at least a decade's patience. Score: 95 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2027-2055 09 January 2020 |

There are four barrels of the 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru, a superb wine that unfurls in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, mandarin orange, pastry cream and blanched almonds. On the palate, it's full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a layered, concentrated mid-palate, tangy acids and lovely purity and definition, concluding with a long finish. Score: 94 - 96 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 04 January 2019 |

A discreet application of wood can be found on the slightly riper and more obviously exotic nose that offers up essence of pear, spiced apple and acacia blossom aromas. The exceptionally rich, dense and powerful imposingly-scaled flavors brim with dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm acid spine shaping the powerful, stony and impressively long finish. As is usually the case in warmer vintages, this is more Montrachet than Chevalier in style in 2017. Score: 94 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2029+ 10 June 2019 |

The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru is from the upper part of Montrachet, a 0.2-hectare monopole. It has a very harmonious bouquet with touches of brioche, orange pith and apricot blossom, all very pretty and refined. The well-balanced palate features clementine and white peach notes. A little more mineral-driven than the regular Chevalier, with a very persistent finish. An excellent Chevalier-Montrachet that should give two decades or more of drinking pleasure.
