April 16, 2023 - Quite powerful and fragrant but palate wise a bit short. Decent qpr for a chevalier but nothing that overwhelmed me.

November 21, 2021 - Not as fresh a bottle as a few weeks ago. Farther developed and with a fatiguing nose that is overbearingly savory. Saffron. Palate is much better, but still not as bright and weightless as the other bottle. (Airline suitcased this five thousand miles, but two weeks before opening, maybe that messed it up? Red was fine.)

October 31, 2021 - Brilliant example of this, fresh, bright clean. High mineral cuts rich yellow fruit. Weighty and good staying power. Half preferred this and half preferred the ’04 Sauzet Bâtard-Montrachet alongside, which was comparatively a little heavier but less clean cut as this.

August 5, 2021 - Consistent with my November note. Another clean bottle. Has serious weight and power with a notable mineral and acid streak that keeps it fresh and tied together. Floral, spice, fairly ripe yellow fruit.

November 24, 2020 - Colour is a little darker than you'd hope to see, but on first sniff this was perfect and had a booming nose of white florals, medium ripe white and yellow orchard fruit, and terrific wood and vanilla spice. Smells beautiful but the palate really delivers in terms of weight, density, and power. Mouthful of rich flavour with excellent white spice detail. Clean and pure but with a decided heft behind it. Very happy with this. 93 - 94.
