This has incredible aromatic definition with lemons, limes and grapefruit, as well as stony elements with oranges and praline. The palate has a beautifully precise feel with very bright citrus and white peaches, leading to gentle lime-marmalade and hazelnut notes to close. Super long, focused and already approachable. Drink or hold.

Revisited from bottle, the 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru is showing brilliantly, exhibiting a profound bouquet of yellow orchard fruit, fresh peach, white flowers, honeycomb, freshly baked bread and wheat toast. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a textural attack that segues into a layered core that’s underpinned by lively acids, concluding with a long and resonant finish. While this is already quite aromatically flamboyant, at least a decade’s patience will be rewarded. Drink 2027-2055

The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a very intense and well-defined bouquet of lemon sherbet and lemon thyme. The palate is tensile on the entry thanks to a fine silver bead of acidity. This is detailed, precise and saline, with a composed and persistent finish that drags you back for more. It has breeding and class. Drink 2025-2055
