The 2019 Meursault Les Chevalières has a clean, crisp bouquet of subtle peachy aromas mixed with honeysuckle. The palate is well balanced with sappy white peach and yellow plum, and quite weighty in the mouth, delivering a pleasant saline bite on the finish. Lots of energy here and good potential.
Rating: 88 –88
The 2013 Meursault Chevalieres, also matured in 25% new oak, has a crisp, quite airy bouquet that is well defined with apricot blossom and white peach scents. The palate is quite viscous on the entry, slightly lower acidity and a rounded honeyed finish that slips down the throat with ease.
Rating: 86 –88
The 2012 Meursault Les Chevaliers comes from a 2.5-hectare block of vines. It has a stony, almost smoky bouquet with crisp definition. The palate has a light pithiness and the acidity is nicely judged. It just needs to develop a little more complexity and personality toward the finish. I made a quick visit to Xavier Monnot’s winery, located next to his impressive grand maison tucked behind the church in the center of Meursault. The wines are branded under his own name in the United States, but elsewhere he adopts his grandfather’s title of Domaine Rene Monnier. A little like Yves Boyer-Martenot, Xavier’s present holdings have been inherited from his ancestors, with some parcels presently rented from his mother and sister, his father having passed away when he was a child. The domaine now farms around 17 hectares of vineyard in the Cote de Beaune. Xavier’s wines are well-crafted, perhaps not quite reaching the heights of its greatest exponents, but commercially savvy wines designed for mass appeal.

The 2007 Meursault Chevalieres represents the single largest appellation of his estate (in five parcels), thus permitting Monnot to separately vinify three lots before assembling them in an effort to achieve greater complexity. A rather reticent nose of lemon with alkaline overtones leads to a palate of contrasting intensity: briny and piquant, with fruit pit and tasted nut bitterness. The effect of lees-beating is evident in this wine’s plush of texture and it finishes with breadth and slightly yeasty as well as nutty and citrus cream persistence, a faintly hard alkaline note and whiff of toasted oak hanging close beside. I suspect this will be best enjoyed over the next 3-4 years. Young Xavier Monnot – for some further notes on whom, consult issues 170 and 180 – bottled his vintage 2007 whites largely in November, 2008, and a few at 11 months. They all came in between 12.25 and 13% natural alcohol, but he did roughly a third to a half of a percent capitalization for the sake of prolonging and thus in his view improving the fermentations. They were not very charming when I tasted – 8-10 months after bottling – so I can only hope that this was a stage. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083

Monnot’s 2006 Meursault Chevalieres originates in a substantial parcel with vines of widely varying age, enabling him to do three separate vinifications and blend for what he feels is enhanced complexity. Juicy citricity, forward, tropical fruit, palpable density, and formidably bright back-end penetration – incorporating bitter-sweet notes of citrus zest – characterize this well-concentrated, energetic Meursault. With time – and I would not hesitate to hold this for 3-4 years – it may display more nuance than it did soon after bottling. Young Xavier Monnot is out to elevate the fruits of his grandfather Rene Monnier’s acreage to new heights in both white (60%) and red. (See issue 170 for a report on the latter. Some wines continue to be bottled under the “Rene Monnier” name, but not in the U.S.) Ambitions here include an ongoing program for re-planting with mass selections from selected old vines in Meursault. Monnot did not begin harvesting until September 24 (continuing into the first days of October). He thinks it foolish to flirt with low sulfur, and the level of dosage in these young wines no doubt contributes in part their brightness. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel.

Offering up pretty aromas of citrus oil and nutmeg, the 2018 Meursault Chevalières is medium-bodied, bright and incisive, with a delicate core of fruit, lively acids and a chalky finish. It's nicely made, but it doesn't display the concentration of the best years.
Rating: 90 –90
The 2017 Meursault Chevalières unfurls in the glass with notions of yellow orchard fruit, citrus oil and sweet spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, tangy and incisive with a tight-knit core and a long, vibrant finish. This is one of Monnot's more serious cuvées.
Rating: 88 –88
The 2016 Meursault Chevalieres has an attractive nose with scents of fresh pear, lime flower and citrus fruit. Perhaps I would like a little more Meursault nuttiness to come through. The palate is medium-bodied with a lightly honeyed opening, hints of almond and green apple, nicely balanced with a pretty, quite detailed finish. A charmer!
Rating: 86 –88
The 2015 Meursault Chevalières, which was taken from tank, has a lifted walnut and hazelnut-scented bouquet. I would like to see a little more precision come through by the time it is in bottle. The palate is balanced if a little simplistic at the moment, requiring some more tension and mineralité to develop on the sappy finish. Maybe that will come with time? There is room for improvement here.

The 2014 Meursault Chevalieres, from a 2.45-hectare of block of between 45- and 50-year-old vines, has a clean and precise bouquet with touches of wet limestone and granite infusing the citrus fruit. The palate is tensile with a keen line of acidity, commendable weight in the mouth with sour lemon and hazelnut towards the sustained finish. This is a Meursault worthy of your consideration.
Rating: 89 –91
The 2020 Meursault Les Chevalières is a step up from the Monthélie as it demonstrates much more tension and complexity on the nose: hazelnut and citrus peel, a slight tertiary quality. The palate is well balanced, not deep or intense, but fresh and delineated with just enough salinity on the finish. Drink over the next decade.
