2011 Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 93+

Good bright, pale yellow-straw. Perfumed aromas of peach pit and vanillin oak, lifted by spicy high notes. Rich and concentrated but light on its feet. Shows sweet stone fruit flavors and very good breadth on the front half, then turns firmer and more saline on the back end, finishing dry and brisk, with lingering notes of citrus peel and white peach. Boasts a lovely core of sweet fruit but this will need patience. [Stephen Tanzer, 09/01/2013]
