January 11, 2019 - Echezeaux Extravaganza: From an immaculate looking magnum. I found the wine pleasant but overall a bit flabby. Lots of dense yellow fruit but didn't have the cut and tension one would expect from a Montrachet in a top vintage like 1992. Others seemed to enjoy this a bit more but I tend to go for more nervy whites...

April 22, 2017 - In magnum. Nose is muted with some ripe tropical fruit. Palate is too ripe and one dimensionl for a monty in mag

September 14, 2013 - Pop and pour, intense light gold. Expressive nose of smoke, marzipan, yellow fruits, apricot, a hint of botrytis, ginger candy, lanoline and crème brulee. Ripe yellow fruits but not tropical. The beguiling dense yet airy texture that one finds only in Chevalier Montrachet and Montrachet. Sweet ripe fruits, excellent concentration, bright acidity, saline, noticeable mineral presence and piercing acidity. Initially a hint of oak that clips the finish but with time it dissipates. With air, the nose expression comes together nicely and becomes singular. A perfectly matured GC burgundy, the reason why some of us can’t give up white burgundy.
