รายละเอียดสินค้า
95 points Vinous
"Very pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. High-pitched aromas of pineapple, peach pit and redcurrant are lively and pure. Silky, fine-grained and sweet, with harmonious acidity and penetrating chalky minerality giving the fresh orchard fruit flavors terrific precision. At once seamless and gripping, this impeccably balanced wine finishes with a subtle whiplash of flavor that leaves the salivary glands humming..
wine score
94-96 points Wine Advocate
"The 2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is clearly more complex and pixelated on the nose compared to the Bâtard-Montrachet: cold wet limestone, gun flint and with continued aeration a touch of orange blossom. The palate is vibrant on the entry, shimmers with citrus fruit, sea salt and spice, building with conviction towards what feels like a structured finish that has a sign saying "Long Term" around it in large letters. What a regal, or perhaps one should say, "knightly" wine."
97 points Wine Spectator
"Offers a broad mouthful of peach, apple and melon flavors, underscored by lively acidity. Has power and weight, with a mouthwatering finish... Really expansive on the finish, where citrus and mineral notes reign."

Sweet, plush and silky; more glyceral than the Pucelles and showing a rare sucrosité for this grand cru in the early going. Wonderfully fine-grained, harmonious and long on the aftertaste
