Notes:
The 2020 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru is brilliant, bursting with aromas of orange oil, nutmeg, crisp orchard fruit, white flowers and peach. Full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, it's layered and multidimensional, with striking depth and intensity, concluding with a long, resonant finish. It's a brilliant wine in the making. William Kelley 95-97
(Bouchard has been separately vinifying this .21 ha parcel, which at one time was
part of Montrachet, since 1992 though the first commercial release was not until 1997; Bouchard jokingly refers to this parcel
as their “Montrachet du haute pente”, or upper slope Montrachet). Not surprisingly, this is aromatically quite similar to the
regular cuvée though here the wood treatment is a bit more prominent, indeed it is also present on the palate of the bigger,
rich and borderline opulent flavors that possess even better density before culminating in a hugely long finish where the only
nit is a touch of warmth. Again, this could use better depth but that should reasonably occur here as well. Burghound 92-95
