Bouchard Pere & Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2006
Chardonnay from Burgundy, France
ratings pedigree (past vintages):
winemaker's notes:
96 Burghound
"Good pale color. Cool, pungent aromas of orange rind, ginger and chlorophyll; smells like grapes. At once suave and powerful on entry, then chewy and utterly primary in the middle, with superb acids intensifying the flavors of flowers, minerals and soft citrus fruits. Best today on the endless rising finish, which saturates the palate with minerals. A great 2006 in the making."
-International Wine Cellar 93-96
"Entices with its floral and citronella aromas, then follows through with macaroon, lime and mineral flavors. These are set against a refined structure and a creamy texture that lends a lighter-than-air feel. The finish goes on and on. Best from 2010 through 2025. 70 cases imported."
-Wine Spectator
critical acclaim:
"Mint, talcum, marzipan, and candied lemon dominate the penetratingly high-toned aromas of their 2006 Chevalier-Montrachet, which exhibits a remarkable alliance of textural richness and citric brightness, and a finish of fascinating, low-toned, chalk, stone, citrus zest, and nut oils. For all of the sheer ripeness on display here, there is no sense of superficial sweetness, with fresh lime saturating a palate of formidable density and imposingly ripe pit fruits. And for all of this wine’s more than 14% alcohol, there is barely a hint of warmth. It exhibits to an even greater degree than the corresponding Meursault Perrieres a nearly ineffable, for lack of a better word “mineral” character, as well as an uncanny combination of amplitude and elegance; sheer mass yet vivacity. This memorably long beauty should age well for at least a dozen years. 94-95.
