Big but not very well defined. Grand cru power and finish. Stylistically not for me. Maybe this bottle was on the way down already so I suggest drinking up.

A bit caramelized nose sans premox belied its youthful color. Opened after a 30 minute decant to layers and waves of pure white and yellow fruits. So much to savor here beyond the remarkable freshness, balance, length and linear precision. This is singing beautifully just moderately chilled and should remain here another 3 to 5 years. Same notes on 6 of 6 bottles over the past six weeks.

Just delicious tonight. Showing some age, but still very vibrant, acidity still strong, range of fruit from red apple to pineapple, pretty floral nose. A true grand cru burgundy and only sorry that it was the last bottle.

(Domaine / Maison Vincent Girardin Chevalier-Montrachet) Pale yellow color; lemon creme brulee and cream nose; lovely, elegant, if young yet, lightly creamy lemon palate with high notes, lemon essence; long finish

Same Btls as R&Rler. Very pleasant surprise to the upside. Lovely fruited with weightless concentration, elegance and Chevalier finesse.
