Average Critic Score: 96.5/100 based on 4 critic reviews
A perfect score from James Suckling is a statement in any context, and for a white Burgundy it is remarkable. The 2019 Bouchard Pere & Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Magnum 1.5L earned 100 points from James Suckling, 97 points from Neal Martin (Vinous), 95+ points from William Kelley (Wine Advocate) and 94 points from Wine Spectator. Chevalier-Montrachet is the stony Grand Cru directly above Le Montrachet, and Bouchard holds a major share of it. The 2019 vintage gave concentration with vibrant acidity, and in magnum, where wine ages more slowly, this flinty, super-concentrated Chevalier has every chance of a long and brilliant future.
...Lovely aromas of lemon blossom, jasmine, tangerine and nectarine, alongside all the stony stuff. Then comes the staggeringly long finish that is totally pure and precise. - James Suckling (100 pts)
A magnum of Grand Cru white Burgundy for the serious cellar, or for an occasion that deserves it.
Critic Reviews
100 Points - James Suckling
“Its really hard to imagine how a white Brugundy could be more flinty and minerally than this super-concentrated and super-vibrant Chevalier Montrachet. Lovely aromas of lemon blossom, jasmine, tangerine and nectarine, alongside all the stony stuff. Then comes the staggeringly long finish that is totally pure and precise. From Bouchard's 2.3-hectare holding, which comprises almost a third of the entire Grand Cru site. Drink or hold.”
97 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous
“The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is one of the more oyster shell-tinged wines in the flight. Complex, focused, well-defined and possessing wonderful energy, this just seems to build in the glass. The palate is stunning, with extraordinary harmony, finely-chiseled tannins, seamlessly-integrated oak and fabulous complexity on the finish Quite simply, brilliant. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.”
95 Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
“Bouchard's 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru confirms its fine showing last year, unwinding in the glass with scents of pear, citrus oil and toasted bread, complemented by hints of nutmeg, praline and white flowers. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's satiny and incisive, with terrific depth at the core, chalky structuring extract, lively acids and a long, resonant finish. This is as compelling an infant Chevalier as I can remember tasting at this address, and it should enjoy a brilliant future.”
94 Points - Wine Spectator
“This is opulent and creamy, an ideal foil for the apricot, citronella, grapefruit pith, smoke and stone flavors. Vibrant, finishing with density and a touch of light tannins. A broader and more muscular style than past vintages of this white. Drink now through 2028. 50 cases imported.”
