Vinous Neal Martin - 12 Jun 25
The 2008 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a taut nose, quite backward considering that it has a few miles on the clock. Yet it opens with aeration, offering lemon thyme and almond scents, wild fern and dry hay. The mineralité kind of “seeps” through with time. The palate delivers the complexity one expects from a Chevalier-Montrachet, touches of peach skin and chamomile interlacing the lemony fruit, leading to a linear, strict finish that implies there is more to give. It is a class act.
