Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru – 2011 – 93-95 points – Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar
93 points
“Bright yellow with a green tinge. Ineffable, high-pitched aromas of crushed stone, lavender and violet. Fine-grained, elegant and airy yet also powerful, with terrific vibrancy to the floral and crushed rock flavors. Conveys an impression of strong acidity and finishes dry, very long and brilliantly precise. ‘The concentration from the sun risked burning off the grapes’ acidity, which is why we were the first to pick here in 2011,’ noted winemaker Eric Remy.”
