  Bottle in pristine condition. Recorked at the domaine. Wonderful smell of honey, nuts, pineapple, peach and yoghurt.
  The wine showed high level of acidity which tells me it could live on for 10 years more (given the bottle is in good condition), but I do not see any reason to hold on to it. Very good and vibrant wine.

  In a great place. Powerful and tight, but loosening up and well developed. It’s got lemon, candle, pineapple, and unripe almond.

  Cork was good but some seepage to the halfway point. Nose was somewhat reticent with a hint of oak. Very rich honeyed palate with layers of dried stone fruit. Good streak of acidity from the Sauvignon and very long refreshing finish. Not sure about how much longer to keep unless one could guarantee impeccable provenance.

  From 75cl, same impeccable provenance as my last bottle (TN 20.06.2016). Exquisite cork, opened but not decanted 1 hour, continued to improve in the glass. Refined scent with jasmine, a hint of incense and, of course, luxurious oak. The entry is highly concentrated yet bright, bouncy and acidic; the mid-palate a miracle of balance between precise structure (meticulous use of oak), acidic nerve and just enough SB varietal typicity to remind you we're not playing in a –very– elevated league of white Burgundy. Almonds, almonds, almonds. Long, resonant finish. This is perhaps the "lightest" wine I can remember tasting which displayed this degree of concentration and aromatic complexity. Peak maturity now, but with plenty of time in hand. 94P

  Domaine de Chevalier vertical with Olivier Bernard (Le Cafe Descartes at the French Embassy): Expressive nose displaying rich yellow fruit, kiwi, lemon curd, crème brulee, a hint of green, honey and limestone. Excellent concentration, nicely layered concentrated sweet yellow fruit, rich and sweet yet harmonious and nicely detailed, medium acidity, good mineral presence and a long rich yellow fruit driven finish with lanoline and light caramel at the end. Someone thought this was too young, which makes no sense to me but…. This is drinking perfectly, still showing generous rich fruit but also complexity via lanoline and honey.
