The nose shows excellent complexity and balance, with pineapple and citrus, floral elements and white orchard fruits. The fruit is ripe but impeccably balanced by the lively acidity and long, dry finish. There is also good viscosity, intense minerality, and slight salinity and creaminess. Terrific.

Un Chevalier Montrachet à point quoiqu’il peut être encore attendu. Une bouche grasse, beurrée, avec des fruits blancs et des notes d’amandes grillées, minérale avec un peu de pierre. Beaucoup de matière en bouche. Top longueur.

(Bouchard Père et Fils Chevalier-Montrachet) Was reduced on opening but cleared up quite quickly, that said this has a totally different nose to the other wines with really dense fruit but it's glossy and focused so in no way ponderous - continues to widen in the glass - very impressive. It's rich with a mineral edge, but like the Charlemagne the concentration bursts across the palate then the acidity ploughs into the finish - grows well in the glass. Rich with a mineral edge and like the Charlemagne the concentration bursts across the palate before the acidity ploughs you into the finish. Very lovely - stylisticly I prefer the Charlemagne but this has a real wow factor despite Christophe saying it's closed up a little since bottling!

Bouchard Pere et Fils with Gilles de Larouziere (NoMad Cupola): Big mature nose. Decent acidity left but felt over the hill.
