Average Critic Score: 93.5/100 based on 2 critic reviews
Chevalier-Montrachet is the Grand Cru that sits directly above Le Montrachet on the Puligny slope, and its thin, stony soils give the most mineral, tightly drawn and long-lived of the Montrachet family. Bouchard Pere & Fils is among the most important owners of the vineyard, with a holding that includes the vines usually bottled separately as La Cabotte, and the house has been making Chevalier for generations. The 2021 Bouchard Pere & Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru earned 92-94 points from William Kelley (Wine Advocate) and 93 points from Neal Martin (Vinous), who praised its precise, mineral-driven bouquet and razor-sharp acidity.
...wafts from the glass with aromas of lemon oil, nutmeg and crisp stone fruits. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's satiny and vibrant, with lively acids and a long, saline finish. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate (92-94 pts)
A Grand Cru from a cool, classic vintage, with the acidity to carry it for many years in the cellar.

“Including the vines that are normally bottled separately as La Cabotte, Bouchard's 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of lemon oil, nutmeg and crisp stone fruits. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's satiny and vibrant, with lively acids and a long, saline finish. (92-94 pts)”
93 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous
“The 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet, precise and mineral-driven, just what you expect from this noble vineyard. The palate is fresh and vibrant with touches of lemon zest and lime, razor-sharp acidity and an energetic, almost flinty finish that borders on shrillness but thankfully stops short. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.”
