2007 Phiippe Colin Chevalier Montrachet when he's not off skiing, this guy makes super wines. You kinda gotta hope the good Burgundy years co-incide with the poor ski seasons hehe. As you would expect, this is more stone fruits then the tropical fruits of the Batards, more linear and precise, with unbelievable length. Having these three wines together really contrasted the two vineyards. I just love me a great Chevalier, and this was one of those. It is annoying wines like these that make us idiots keep buying White Burgundy, even when we know we shouldn't :) 97pts drink: now-2020+

Kelly, Kevin, RJ and Tom's excellent NYC adventure; 12/1/2017-12/3/2017 (New York City): Big scale nose displaying Intense ripe and rich yellow fruit, peach, apple tart, caramel, sweet spices and mineral. Excellent concentration, rich oily yellow fruit driven palate impression, bright acidity, medium mineral and a medium long ripe yellow fruit driven finish. I suspect this was harvested very ripe. Rich and powerful but perhaps a bit too ripe and chunky.

Wine is now totally oxidized. What a shame. It was very good a few years ago.
