2018 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chevalier-Montrachet #164220532
Reviews 94-96 points Wine Advocate "Wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of citrus oil, orange blossom, white flowers and pastry cream, Moreau's 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a deep and multidimensional core, lively acids and a long, chalky finish. (WK)" 95-97 points Vinous "The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, which comprises three barrels this year, has an expressive bouquet of crushed stone mixed with Granny Smith apples and fleeting hints of white peach. The palate is supremely well balanced, delivering superb weight and penetration; the intense flavors of orange peel and sour lemon dovetail into discreet passion fruit and pawpaw notes toward the finish. Of course, there is outstanding mineralite throughout this Grand Cru. An awesome Chevalier-Montrachet. (NM)" 92-94 points Burghound "An elegant, pure and airy if mildly exotic nose combines notes of passion fruit, apple, white flowers and mineral reduction. There is excellent intensity to the racy medium-bodied flavors that possess a borderline creamy mid-palate while exuding an overt minerality on the balanced, hugely, long, tightly wound and ever-so-mildly austere finale.
