In the nose this has the subtle floral quality of Chevalier-Montrachet, but on the powerful and concentrated palate you have deeper bass notes (think of J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Major). Huge power at the finish, but no sense of heaviness. Historically, this was the upper part of the Grand Cru Montrachet.

If this year's regular Chevalier could be mistaken for La Cabotte in a blind tasting, so the 2022 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru might be mistaken for a Montrachet. Offering up youthfully reductive aromas of pear and peach mingled with hazelnuts, white flowers and orange oil, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with broad structural shoulders and an unctuous core of fruit, concluding with a long, saline finish.
