February 21, 2024 - 14% ABV. PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Leaf” day): Deep golden to the eyes with copperish tints.
Premox - Oxidative, oatmeal, preserved citrus with peels, spicy and nutty nuances.
Not rated. -

You feel the warmer vintage but still good acidity structure and well balanced. I would wait not much longer. 94 -

October 9, 2022 - Pronounced nose intensity with notes of vanilla, flora, ripe yellow fruits, honey, toast. High acidity. Very long finish. Probably the best Chevalier I drank. Lucky to get a good bottle.

February 10, 2022 - More advanced than desired - but still drinkable with a cheese course. I would blend with something fresher.
