Domaine de Montille, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, 2019

From one of the most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, Domaine de Montille’s 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet is a stunning expression of Chardonnay. Known for its balance of opulence and freshness, this wine showcases the vineyard’s exceptional terroir with elegance and precision. The nose is a captivating blend of citrus zest, lemon curd, and white flowers, with underlying notes of toasted almond and a hint of flint. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and creamy, with a rich texture that is balanced by vibrant acidity. The mineral backbone from the limestone soils adds depth and structure, while the subtle oak influence brings complexity without overshadowing the purity of the fruit. The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a refined minerality that makes it both elegant and enduring. This Chevalier-Montrachet pairs beautifully with lobster, truffle dishes, or rich seafood preparations. While it is drinking beautifully now, its structure and complexity suggest it will continue to evolve and gain even more depth with aging.
