Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru 2018 - Bouchard Père & Fils
Vintage 2018 : 96/100 Wine Spectator
Tasting Note : "Fragrant, this white delivers forthcoming aromas of seashore, hazelnut, peach and white flowers. It's creamy and vibrant, picking up flavors of vanilla, clove, butter and pastry as it unfolds on the palate. Terrific equilibrium and length. Best from 2023 through 2032." BS
